Here's some of my favs:
Orange Lip Conch Cleaner/Peppermint shrimps (stir up detritus mostly so the filters can get it) High flow rate  I don't like Bumble Bee snails as they are predatory to other snails. Good luck finding a PomPom crab with pompoms.

IMHO pom poms are more decorative than useful. (darn cute though)
I know someone who had their tank nuked due to a cuke dying, so due to that I would not recommend them. The bristleworms and possibly microstars (micro brittle stars) that come in off most live rock are very good detrivores. I Golds sells conches (I think called fighting conches, also called orange lipped though I see no orange) and I bought one from there. It loves to clunk about in the sand and eat stuff with its "trunk". I like the tri-color hermit crabs for hc's. I found most other kinds ate my snails and each other. If you just want to stir your sand bed up and have room for the bio load of a fish, a goby is nice. Their are several gobies that sift sand. The ones in my tank are Signal and "Dragon" (can't remember the scientific names). Most people recommend against getting a "sand dollar" as they often have bad survival rates in the aquarium..same goes for sand sifting starfish. Another cleaner upper I really like is the money cowrie. It is small, Golds sells them as well.
