Suggestions on sand bed cleaners? Tiger tails? Sifting Star? Diamond Goby?

I added a new sand bed (previously bare bottom) and doubled my live rock recently in my 125G mixed reef and have been battling a diatom outbreak. The last tank I had that had a sand bed was about 5 years ago and had 4 tiger tail sea cucumbers. They did a pretty good job of turning the sand but wondering if there were any other suggestions out there.

I'm looking for any kind of suggestions for critters and also if any have seen any of their suggestions locally recently.

My diamond does a great job

I have a diamond goby and it does a good job. I also have a clear net top or the will jump out...

Yeah a cover is a very good idea. I had a diamond jump on me before I completely covered the top.

Avoid a diamond unless you like unburying your coral in the sand everyday.

Conchs are really good for this and don't cause to much of a mess
