Im looking for any fish that are capable of shifting or cleaning sand besides the Diamond Goby, I already have one in my other tank and want something different, even other goby types are fine.
thank you

You could also get a sand sifting starfish or a tiger cucumber (however the cucumbers are very very slow and don't seem to make much progress around the tank lol)

Any fish of the genus Valenciennea is most likely going to sift sand. Same with Signigobius (the two-spot) gobies as well. Goatfish will also sift through the sand as well.

Nassarius snails will sift through the sand as well, and hermit crabs can help keep the surface clean if in large enough numbers.
