I am planning my set-up and since I am wanting to go sand would like to know about snails to help keep the sand stirred. are there any that I can put into a community planted tank safely?
 
Malaysian Trumpet Snails (AKA MTS) are what a lot of people around here use.
 
If you've got more than 1/4 to 1/2 inch depth of sand it will still be a good idea to manually stir the sand from time to time as MTS don't go very deep into the substrate- they basically go just below the surface.
 
I personally would not recommend adding snails to a planted tank .... once they start multiplying .... they become a real menace
