hi everyone can some one tell me the best fish to get to keep my sand clean and white eg sand sifting goby etc etc the sand i have is red sea base sand.

thanks perren

The gobys are the only one i know of

There are a few sand sifting gobies that are still allowed to be imported into the country:

Valencienna strigata

Valenciennea sexguttata

Valencienna puellaris

Valenciennea longipinnis

I wouldn't know which one is the best of these.

That one will as well, don't put it in a RSM though, as they can get big...

Than can also be hard to feed as the sift through the sand looking for meaty type foods.

Get a small one

When I kept marines in the UK the LFS used to suggest keeping a pair of the blue cheeked gobies as they do better than singles. Dont know if it was a marketing ploy or not. (Thats the valencienna strigata)

'tis true, but way too big for an RSM. I'd suggest a starfish (tiger brittle star)
