Check out the June photo contest. It's all about the gobies.
There are some really cool and unusual ones in there already.

The Yellow Watchman although will occasionally sift through the sand for food but your better off with the Valenciennea sp. which are exclusive SS Gobies.

My yellow watchman is very shy. When I'm not around he does sift sand a little but not as much as some others.

Here is a link containing several different types of SS gobies.

Ihave never had one but really like the twin spot goby.

avoid the twin spot unless you have a very mature sandbed with lots of life. they are kinda like mandrines in there feeding needs, but they dont eat pods.

my fav SS goby is the sleeper banded goby (Amblygobius phalaena). they too need a mature sand bed but fare much better than the twin spot and they dont make big piles of sand like its cousin the Valenciennea. great personality too.

the watchman will only keep his hole clean.
