:id like a pretty sand sifting one or just a pretty one in general, that isnt too(well it could be, but im not that confident yet) difficult to care for.

Hi Ashley,

You could try a decorated sand goby (Istigobius decoratus) which is a good sifter and hardier than the Valenciennea "sleeper" gobies, or one of the shrimp gobies such as the yellow watchman (Cryptocentrus cinctus) or a brightly colored Amblyeleotris shrimp goby. Any of these are easy to take care of and could get along with a small clownfish.

Good luck!
