Sleeper Goby and DSB

[reef dude]

I recently purchased a yellow headed sleeper goby and thought that he would make his cave/territory, and then leave the sand alone. But he's made his cave in the sand but he is CONSTANTLY picking up pockets of sand and spitting them back out, which is clouding the water a lot! the larger particles fall back down but the current picks up the smaller ones and just clouds the tank. I think i should have to bring him back, no?

All sleeper gobies are hard core sifters. I had one move all the sand from one side of 75 to the other. If he is clouding your water , i would take him back. though they do keep the sand turned and clean
