Tiger Goby

Hello everyone, I’m new here.
Question about new fish I just added to a 55 gal, lots of liverock, some corals. It mostly on the rock. One small Blasto on sand. Deep sand bed and very well established tank. That all said, added a Tiger Goby last night and wanted to get some input from experience. So far he is sifting away which is why I wanted him. To clean my sand. Main question here is do they clean the sand good of unwanted algae’s and unwanted surface things? He seems very interesting so far. Didn’t want a Diamond in this size tank simply because of size and didn’t want him wiping out the sand.
Thank you in advance for any input

It's a very pretty fish, it also likes to build caves in the sand, I think it will help you keep the sand clean.

Wanted to add a photo of the tank in case of any questions.

How is your tiger watchman goby doing now that it's been with you for a couple of months? Does it keep the sand bed clean? Does it bury your corals?
