Default A sand sifter that will survive in my fowlr

Hello
I am looking for some recomendations for a sand sifter in my fowlr. I tried a sand sifting star but my triggers eventually made lunch of him. My tank specs are below in my signature.
Any Ideas?

Well, I'll offer this up, but your triggers might be different than my Picasso relative (Black Blotch).

I've got two tiger tails that I've had forever. I didn't know what would happen when I removed my sand bed, but they are still there intact, hiding in the rock and I find them often when I am reworking my rock structure.

I wouldn't want to suggest this and have your triggers rip it apart causing potential harm, so it is just something that works for me.

I used Sand Sifting snails, my experience was that my Picasso left them alone. That might help.

How about something like a conch? A strawberry conch for a smaller tank, or bigger tank you could go with a spider conch.
