Sand cleaning animal for Reef Tank?

Hey guys, I've been thinking of adding something to my reef tank to help with detritus accumulation on the aragonite sand bed. I'm considering a sand sifting sea star or a conch, maybe even a sand sifting goby. What do you guys think? I use powerheads to try and keep detritus in suspension and also use a gravel vac to try and clean my sand during water changes. But there are certain spots where I can't really get the gravel vac, like behind/under rockwork. I find all the creatures above interesting additions to a reef tank and would like to know if they would also help clean my sand. Anything I should know about the care of these guys? Its a 65 gallon reef, softies and LPS, fish list is 2 percula clowns, sixline wrasse, royal gramma, and in the future a flame angel and copperband butterfly.
