Default Goby Suggestions

I'm looking to see what others favorite gobies are, I would like a small kind that sift's a bit of sand but does not take it up & drop it onto corals all the time. I had a yellowhead that started out at 3" & grew to 6" but he would always make a mess so I caught him & took him to golds a couple of months ago. Just looking for any suggestions & pics of cool ones. Thanks.

One of my favorites was the Randall Goby. It did make a home in the sand, but never made a mess. When it would stick it's top fin out, it looked really nice. Here is a link to a picture of one:

Not very exotic, but I love my Orange Spotted Goby. He doesn't sift sand but he's got a symbiotic relationship with my bulldozer pistol shrimp and they are fascinating to watch.
