buy a dozen or so nassarius snails....they'll keep it turned over. sea cucumbers/conchs do too
 
+1 on the nassarius snails also reef2go ( yeah I know ) has these sand crabs that are great. I have 6 in my tank and they do a pretty good job.
 
Will this work as well for the gravel that is like small crushed stone? 2/16" in size?
 
I actually had coralline algae grow on my substrate when it was that big....and the nassarius will still turn it over
