Nassarius snails do not deplete the live in your sand. However, I am not sure about their long-term survival. I had them and they tend to disappear over time.

They bury int the sand and help keep it turned over and white, but they aren't detritivores as they're usually sold. They feed on carrion so they need to be fed meaty food occasionally unless there is enough leftover food already falling to the bottom.

Carrion means anything dead, not just birds.
