    Leave it alone, unless it gets to the point where it's covering coral. Fish like gobies burrow, make mountains, hills, etc. They make the sand their playground. If you have a fish that stirs sand, chances are, you'll never have a flat sand bed. If you were to continuously flatten it, you might release things from inside the sand bed
