|  Good sandsifter?
Doing some cleaning and moving some rocks around today I saw that my sand bed has a lot of gas bubble build up(woot I think that means its now live). So I am looking for a couple sand sifters to sift. But the problem anything small(goby) will get eaten by my lion fish. Snails, stars? _________ Senior Noob Setting my 75 back up soon Main SW Tank:

| For a 75g I would get more. I have a 55g and have around 12 and still want more. They do a great job and when I put food in all of them come out in a few seconds.

Another thing is that I want to get a Clown Fairy Wrasse and a sifting star. But I have read that Clown Fairy Wrasse's bury themselves in the sand. Would the start try to eat the wrasse? | |
