I don't think that there is really a way to stop that, i have heard that some clowns will do that.

The only way I know of to stop it is to get him to host in something. He digs to make a "nest" for himself. My tomato dug a hole to sleep in every night...
...and then I got a bubble tip anemone for him. Now he sleeps in that, and never bothers the sand. But unless you have the set up for it, don't do it. Some clowns will also host in some corals as well.

Thank you for all the great responses! I guess the little terror will just have to remain a terror until I get get the lights I need for corals. Well, Thanks again!

Tomato clowns seem to like redecorating the tank. Mine is a terror and it has gotten to the point where I am seriously considering taking him out of the tank and trading him away. He attacks any frag I put in the tank and tries to bulldoze it over. He's killed several frags doing this and I am constant putting things back in place for him to then knock back over. If yours is just digging in the sand then I think it just wants a host. Numerous corals make great hosts for these guys (Frogspawn, Hammer corals, hairy shrooms, ect) if you don't want to go with an anemone.
