What Animals Could Live in a Glass Ocean?

So I had this idea of a world with an ocean sized pool of super hard glass that formed millions of years ago on this planet.

I started to think of the implications of something like that: In some areas there would literal mountains of glass-sand. At times there would sandstorms that blow at speed of hundred of miles per hour, completely shredding anything that isn't a mineral to pieces. Creatures would have to either live under deep canyons that have been eroded by time, or be able to actually dig there way into the glass.

So ideas for creatures: Superheated creatures that melt the glass and sand (maybe even eating it by breaking it down into an edible form)

Also, I was reading about fiber optics, and what about vast channels of consolidated, special glass that allowed for the evolution of light-construct creatures? Energy whales and sharks? Literally swimming through channels of light focusing glass.

Looking for some other ideas or some interesting world build tips for a world like this :)
