Been looking for a sand sifter for our tank. We have an aggresive tank so I was hoping to find a fish that would fit in. I hear Gobies are good sand sifter but dont know what species would fit in the community. The fish we have are listed below. Thanks guys.
 
I am afraid Goby's are generally passive fish, and i dont feel one would suit such an agressive natured tank as yours...Your eel and puffer kinda rule out inverts aswell..

Just my opinion though

Tanks a little on the over stocked side IMO. And a goby won't work anyway with current fish.
 
By starry puffer do you mean Arothron stellatus? If that is the case hopefully you plan in upgrading in the future.

I've kept the sandsifter goby Amblygobius phalaena in a similar aggressive set up with no issues (minus the puffer and eel). They're one of the easier ones since they'll often accept frozen or dried foods. Mine was a good eater.

Personally I would't suggest you add anything else though. Some of your fish are not suited for your tank long term already and you are pretty well stocked.
