BEST sand stirrer?

[MandarinFish]

Urchin? Sea cuke? Tigertail cuke?

A star that doesn't eat all the fauna in the DSB?

Tell me what you think - I am looking for a tank raised or captive bred stirrer that doesn't eat the life out of my DSB....

I'm very fond of my nassarius snails. They keep the sand stirred & don't eat the micro fauna.

Are they easy to find?

Potential sand stirrers:

Starfish - brittlestars, serpentstars
Cucumbers - mopping cukes, tigertails
Urchins - predominantly live on rocks / glass
Shrimps - may eat DSB fauna on sand surface during the night
Snails - Nassarius & Certh, Conchs - Queen & fighting
Clams
worms
Scarlet Hermits
crabs - pom-pom, fiddler, ghost, etc.
Pistol shrimps
Mantis Shrimps -

Small gobies are also good stirrers.
Not! the larger sand sifting gobies.

Can't think of any others readily available in local LFS's.

Mopping cukes & brittle stars do a fairly decent job.
