I saw some diamond gobies and bullet gobies at Barrier Reef in Boca today. I also think Fish Collection in NMB has some diamond gobies.

Call Reef's Edge, they usually have some. Exotic Aquatic also usually has Diamond Gobies and/or sleepers. They dig a lot!

I know that you know they make a mess on the rocks and corals with that sand. Why not get nassariss snails?

In addition to a yellowhead sleeper goby that's constantly sifting and digging, I've got a couple of sand-sifting stars in my tank. They do a terrific job of keeping the sand bed clean. My 90 was wall to wall spaghetti worms, now it's nice and clean. And the wrasses don't seem to bother them. I think the Diamond Goby in my 55 is more industrious than the sleeper though. That guy's a bulldozer.

Diamonds are great, but I like the twinspot the best! My favorite for the burrowing ones are the duskies, with the giant black head.
