I also think you are bang on here (see bolded), but the critters listed in the link you provided are not the critters you are referring to as sand-dwelling critters for your DSB. I like your thought process, but you're not finding what you're looking for in the link you provided.

If these type of organisms live only in specific size sand sediment, I can't see them existing at all in live rock, no matter the quality.
Even though live rock can appear to make a dsb "live", I think that there is room for improvement with regards to diversity.
