Is the price tag for this fish worth it. I have been wanting one and Live Aquaria has them on sale for $79 occasionally but is the price tag worth it or would I be better of with other sand sifters and saving the money?

Yes I knew that required cooler temps which for me is an issue as I don't plan on buying a chiller just for one fish. Im pretty sure im talking myself out of it lol. Ill probably go with a diamond goby or something.First, they don't sift sand. They build a small burrow and stay there.
Second, they prefer cooler waters than typical reef tanks, so have a significantly shortened lifespan in warmer waters.

definitely agree. I run mine at 78 so I think ill pass. I just got a diamond goby instead and love himI may be in the minority here, but I would say no simply because they spend a lot of time hiding and as mentioned above they require a lower temp which may not agree with your current stock. Personally if a fish can't handle a 78 degree temp I don't want it because that seems to be the sweet spot for 99% of corals, fish, inverts that are out there.
