Can anyone recommend one for a 75g reef with a med0deep sand bed?

orange spot diamond gobies.

+1 these guys are the best I have found for keeping sand bed clean.

Sounds good does anyone know of any Lfs that stocks these?

Also, how hardy are these fish?
Specifically in terms of diet?
I know with golden head sleeper gobies they tend to starve in tanks over time as they don't feed well on fish food.

I think Colby had some on sunday at Bayside Corals in Saskatoon if you can't find any locally...

[Mrfish55]

Our local shop has them in stock, pm me if you can't find any locally,I am flying down Monday and can bring you one. I have one left in my 300, does a bang up job keeping the sand clean ( 3 years now) cool fish to watch they work nearly constantly scooping up mouthfuls of sand.

I recently got an orange-spotted goby on Boxing Day at J&L. It looked quite healthy at the LFS, but unfortunately even after slowing acclimating it into my tank, I failed to see it from that day onwards. A week later, I went to King Ed's and got a dragon goby. Very hardly and a great sand sifter. It will even swim among the fish to eat brine shrimp, in addition to sifting the sand constantly. I highly recommend this one. There are still a couple left since I have been there last week.

@ Mr Fish55;
Thank you very much for the generous offer! I am not sure that a tank my size could support one of these gobies, I think I will do some more research before getting one.

@ Volitan;
Thanks for the heads up definitely one of the options I will keep in mind.

king ed always has the orange spotted gobies. i got 2 from there several months ago and they're doing great and cleaning the sand really well.

How mature/big is your tank?
