Keeping sand clean

[ponokareefer]

You may want to try nassarius snails as they bury themselves in your sand and come up to feed, thereby mixing up your sand. You could also try various types of smaller conch's. I have one that really keeps my sand very churned up. I also have a sand sifting star, brittle star fish, blue leg hermit crabs, nassarius and cerith snails that churn up my sand. You could also try a sand sifting goby as well. I have heard that they are very good at mixing up your sand bed.

I have 2 nassarius snails although my sand still isn't kept clean??? I also have numerous crabs and snails.

I found out I like Sand shifting Goby better.. =) they are fun and keep themself busy on the sand all the time, even eat all the left over food on the sand bed =) Mine dead from Trigger fish harrasment. That fish is cool.. will chew on the sand and filter it out from the side

Try conches, they are great. I have 2 in my 24 gal and they keep it very nice.
