Best type of Goby for sifting sand?

Had a Sleeper Goby that went through the sand pretty good.

Negative was he'd take a mouthful then rise up ~6" and spread sand over everything.

I had the golden head sleeper goby and he would dump the sand over eveything ....gets pretty annoying

I use two Golden Head sleepers...they do a great job, but do dump sand everywhere....and I mean everywhere.

I would say you guys just confirmed my point about the watchman's.

They sift like a machine and are well behaved.

I had a orange spot goby that did a great job stirring the sand. It would stay in one spot and filter the sand. It never would swim up and dump sand on the corals.
