Default Moving tank sandbed question

I'm moving on the 2nd of December into my new house in Calgary. I'm debating ditching my SB but I have critters that may rely on it. Can I get some opinions?

I have a watchman goby-pistol shrimp pair that live at the bottom of the tank. I have a conch, and an olive snail that also reside on or in the SB. Othe than that nothing else really needs to have sand.

What effect will removing my sandbed have on these creatures? Will I need to get rid of them or should I try to keep them with no SB.
