are there any algae eaters that are ok for a FW community tank with sand substrate?

Tumbleweed

I had a pleco in my community tank with sand and it was just fine. He would remove all the plant from the tank becaue he was bored but that was the worst of it.

Barbrella

You could definitely put a bristlenose pleco in there. They stay small and will eat all the algae. They're just fine with sand!

I have a mixture of sand and crushed coral in my peacock cichlid tank, and my pleco is happy w/ the substrate, in fact he has grown more in that tank than he did w/ the mbunas.
