Best way to remove algae in sand?

[mrcoffee2]

Hey guys,

I have a 14G biocube that has like a half inch sand bed. I have noticed that it has this really green algae growing in it. What is the best method to have this cleaned. I'd prefer to buy some kind of sand sifter / snail rather than vacuum it out.

Thanks

Do you have a clean up crew? Our fighting conch keeps our sand clean.

Of all the sandcleaners I've tried(cucumbers, urchins, brittlestars, nassarius, trochus, turbo, fighting conchs, tiger conchs)....the tiger conch is by far the best cleaner. It will even eat 1"+ long green hair algae.
