Right now I have 2 brittle stars, some nassarius snails, turbo snails, a lawnmower blenny, some BL hermits and 2 clowns. Im just starting out. Thats all Ive got in a 165G tank so far.

If you are just starting out there is no need to add anything.
What you want is a sand bed thriving with all kinds of critters.
You do not want a lifeless sand bed.
Maybe add a a small conch after six months.

My sand sifting star fish does a good job, I prefer them over a goby because they don't spit sand all over corals.
