+1 on the Fighting Conch

I have 2 of them in my 40gal, both about an 1.5" long and they are geat, they turn over the sand and they also crawl on the rocks once and a while really cool to watch them.

I have 4 tonga nassarius in my 40 breeder. they don't sift the sand but they do stir it.
they burrow under until they smell food or night time and then they come out and forage for dead stuff to eat.
Cerith snails also burrow although they're prone to getting flipped over and stuck.

Great, thanks all.

Going to give the Rainfords Goby a try, hopefully it will work with my Flame Hawk ....
