I have 100% of my tanks bottom covered for a year and a half now. I've had a YWG, twin spot blenny, sand sifting star fish, nassaruis snails, etc and no one has seemed to mind.

We had a good discussion about this early in the year. I ended up going with live rock directly on the bottom, with a shallow layer of sand all around.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
