If you have that many you are probably overfeeding.The easiest way is to get a pair of the long tweezers and use a penlight flashlight when the tank is dark and grab and remove.They do make little traps that work for the small ones.

Do you think that a sand sifting star fish would eat them ?

No asand sifting star fish won't eat them. The Neon Dottyback will as some other fish.
