Mariner,
Glad to hear you can keep one, but I would say that is the exception to the rule for these stars.
Nassarius snails are good for eating leftover meaty food, but to keep the sandbed white I would go with ceriths and fighting conchs (but only one per 4 sq ft of sand bed). They will ingest the sand and clean it of diatoms, algae and bacteria. I used to get a little bit of diatoms on my sandbed and since I added the ceriths and conchs my bed has been a glistening white. I have 3 nassarius as well to catch any leftover meat.
