I would change sand (keep a cup or 2), and get any of the ones that don't grow more than 1.5-2", they are all very pretty cool.

A yellow watchman will fill the bill: he's big, up to 4", but because he's mostly a detritus eater/reprocessor, unless you are already fished-up, you can support him without bio-consequences.

I have the yellow watchman and he is a worker(on the sand).

For a tank that size I would go with a smaller goby, something like a yellow clown. Great little fish with tons of personality. It's fun to watch them perch up on the rocks and in the corals.
