Will these guys shift through pool sand so gas won't build up or would I still have to manually shift the sand?
 
If you find a lot of them.... put a algae wafer in the corner and in time they swarm to it...
 
They normally hide under the sand during the day. Once the light goes off, they come out.
 
I only see mine at night time, during the day they burrow through the sand
 
they are pretty much the perfect "pest" snail when you have sand substrate
 
So they do mix the sand around enough to cause sufficient gas release?
 
if you have enough of them ...yes
