Sand Sifting Creatures?
I have a sand sifting star and a dragon goby. I have beautiful white sand with plenty of little critters in it. It seems they don't always get to the bottom of the sand and this must seed the upper layers. Since the sand star is growing and doing well after 8 months it seems he is not going to starve to death like some people say they can.
My daughter named our dragon goby "Norbert" from "Harry Potter" LOL |

I have a Hector's Goby that sifts sand, but seems to like algae better. Cool fish though.

If you are just starting out there is no need to add anything. What you want is a sand bed thriving with all kinds of critters. You do not want a lifeless sand bed. Maybe add a a small conch after six months. |

My sand sifting star fish does a good job, I prefer them over a goby because they don't spit sand all over corals.
