do you realy think that the entire ocean floor is sand???? I would hazord to guess that most of it is just plain old rock.

at any rate if you look in the middle of a large reef all it is, is rock and corals, and most of the critteres that live in that area have probably never seen sand, where the chritters that live on the edges have seen it, sooo.. how do you know if sand is realy natural for the fish you bought? Also there have been several pictures of Brains, ect atached to rock on coral reefs with no sand in sight, we just assume that they are sand critters, mine actualy has the scar on the bottom where it was broken off a rock when they removed it from the ocean.
