Is there any fish that will clean the sandbed that makes less of a mess than a diamond goby? I bought a diamond goby and he is doing a great job but I now have sand particles all over my tank and its not clearing out so I wanted to see if there is another fish that doesn't move the sand bed so much?

I tried a conch and normally I have had good luck with them but the dang thing barely did anything and then died two months later. Maybe I will have to try a couple more as normally in the past they have worked.

All good answers.  Would also consider some seastars, even the sand sifting variety.

I had a horseshoe crab in my old 30 gallon years ago he was really fun to watch when he would come out of the sand they look like little german helmets clunking around!
