A sand sifting star or a smaller fighting conch. Just as a conch gets bigger it might knock some stuff around.

Sand sifting stars are not a good thing to have in a reef tank. They eat the live out of your live sand. If they die, as many quickly do, they will release toxins and you don't want that.

Nassarius snails work good and are cool to watch, if you get about ten or so, when you feed the tank they pop up all over the place like from a si-fi movie.

Sand sifter stars require a healthy/established sandbed. If they die they basically disentegrate. I dont know about the toxins, as I had one die and not a thing changed in my setup.
