Brittlestar and dragon goby too much?

[i3oosted]

I have a really healthy sand bed, would the addition of both the brittlestar and dragon goby in a 75 w/ 3inch sandbed be enough or will they starve?

The dragon goby, alone, will deplete the sand bed of most life in a short while and will need supplemental feedings. Also, they tend to suspend a few inches off of the bottom of the aquarium before releasing what they have sifted. With good flow, the substrate can be blown undesirably around the DT and can be dropped on corals directly if they are low enough. If you are going to get one, or any sifting goby, I would definitely put the fish in QT and treat with prazipro since they are very prone to internal parasites. Orange spot Gobies are another good choice for your tank. They share all of the same qualities but will keep there sifted substrate closer to the bottom. Either will give you a nice clean looking tank.

Good Luck
