What kind of fish is this????

[bradttu]

This is a verbal description, I would post a pic but I do not know what it's called! This is going to be a long shot, but here goes nothing.
It's about 3 or so inches long and has a "yellowish" colored face. It goes to the bottom of the tank and grabs a mouth full of sand. Then, it releases the sand somewhere on the bottom of it's body. It's pretty cool!! The fish swims off with a trail of sand coming out of its body.
The guy at the LFS said it was called a Sand Sifter. Well, when I do a search for a sand sifter I get pictures of the sand sifter STAR.
Any ideas????????
Thanks!

Is this him? You can see the stuff falling from his gills. Really cool little guy. I believe they eat alot of pods and may take away from a mandarin or scooter blennie, but mine eats flake and frozen food too.

Look up Blue Spotted Jawfish - A awesome fish - fun to watch but if it is one watch out they are jumpers.

Do they keep your sand bed pretty clean?

I kept a Golden-Headed Sleeper for about 9 months until I realized what it was doing to my pod population........very cool fish. Quite active and pretty neat looking as well. Kept the sand turned over well.
