Gobies in the genera Valenciennea and Amblygobius will sift, but some will hover higher in the water column, dropping sand on more corals.

Just be prepared for a sand storm the first few days as they clean your sand. After about a week it's not near as bad but any coral on or near the sand will get covered.
