Not trying to be a jerk or discourage you but you might want to do a little more research on your livestock purchases. If anything, a good start is to ask on here and you'll also figure out who to take your advice from, theres alot of newbies that are giving bad advice. Which the bad advice is usually from inexperience and listening to unknowledgeable staff at large chain stores. Stay away from the places that sell puppies and kitties etc. IMO a sand sifting goby should'nt be added to a tank that is not at least a year or two old. It takes a long time for a tank to be established and theres just not enough in the substrate for a sifter to survive and they starve to death. That includes starfish.
