Diamond Goby will do great with keeping the sand clean but they will also kick up some sand from time to time.
You can try an orange spotted goby... it's supposed to be a little more delicate cleaner

agreed, the diamond (orange spot) gobies do not tend to swim as high as yellow headed sleepers and therefore do not spread sand as far. I have never had any sand sifting gobies live longer than a year in my tank, so I opted for a whole bunch of nassarium snails even though they do not do the same job, they will move the sand around when they come out for feeding time. Plus I think they are beautiful.
