CUC for our sand???

We have a brown/red algea problem on our sand. Our CUC takes care of all the hard surfaces and do a good job but they neglect the sand and now it ia all brown and ugly. What can we add to our crew to take care of just the sand?
Our CUC now is...
Lettuce nudi
2 emerald crabs
Brittle star
10 nassarius snails
20+ asrea snails
25+ hermits
2 peppermint shrimp
2 cleaner clams
Pincushion urchin
Pencil urchin
All this in a 150 gal tank.
Suggestions please?!?!

get more nassarius...maybe a few of the fancy ones (they are bigger) look into a tiger sand conch (or 3)....I love mine...

+1 on the conch...ive got a fighting conch and boy do they clean up well!
another is the queen but this creature gets way big....prob perfect for ur 150gals lol, know that i think about it!
narris snails are a great addition as well! They come up when they smell the foods! I call em lil elephant snails cuz of thier noses...Ive got a fancy one....its a butterscotch i thinks and i can see the mouth pretty good too....kinda creepy creature!
