The fleshier corals don't seem to like a lot of sand on them IME.

It's an irritant at best and it's never going to help. I'd move them.

Sand sifters will sift sand on your LPS and it will not be good for your corals. Of course having three sand sifters will quickly deplete your live sand of beneficial organisms to the detriment of both your sand bed and your fish.
