Snails and crabs.
you can also just stir up the sand or vacuum it.

yea a light toothbrush is totally fine. most of the green your seeing is about to become purple coralline.
all signs its time to add some more snails.

what size is the tank? also are you feeding meaty foods?
When I add I try to add in conservative numbers and easy to remember numbers(so I can kinda track how many I have). Like 4 of these four of these four of those.
Here's a good guide to what some of the common snails eat. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/choosing-cleanup-crew-critters.258695/

Cool. Id look into the 4 4 & 4 or 6 6 and 6. Get your turbos small though, well fed they can get big. Also you don't want too many as it can starve out the emerald.
Look at the Nassarius snails, they are carnivores and will clean up the meat.

you dont have to. Bubble algae and big nasty clumps yes. Many worry about it spreading, but really, it already has hasn't it?

I regularly hit small patches the snails couldn't get with a toothbrush.
