Sand all over rocks

I just put sand into my tank a half an hour or so ago. It is starting to clear up with help of my powerhead/surface skimmer but I am noticing already a good amount of sand on my rocks? Once the tank clears a bit more should i put my hand in and swipe water towards the rock to knock it off, or just leave it be?

i have this sort of obbesion of finding common items at lfs's called somethign dramatic and marked up... today i saw an "algea scraper" that was just a shrink wrapped plastic paint scraper for $8.. not even the whole scraper just the replacement scaper part. the handle was seperate.
