Sea Cumcumber

I did some more research and I've narrowed it down to a tiger sea cucumber and/or a sand sifting star. Both would be good at controlling detritus alage and star would be good overall janitor for the tank.

I also found out that not all sea cucumbers will omitt toxins when die. I guess mostly the filter feeder types do this. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

The engineer gobies do not eat detritus alage and nassarius snails do more scavanging that sand sifting.
