Mine do the same, surface when the Mysis hit the tank rome around vaccuming up the left overs then back into the sand.. so sifting not so much, cleaning up leftovers pretty good.

Sand sifting star. They're all over the place. sleeper gobies are good too.... But they spread the sand around a lot. It will land on corals and make a bit of a mess. Get a couple stars.
