That is basically how they eat. they take in mouthfuls of sand and "sift" it through and out of their gills. That is why oolitic sand is nice. It is not so coarse as to hurt them and it is not teeny weeny either.

so sugar sand or oolitic sand are both good sand for a tank. does anyone one have any pictures of oolitic sand? are oolitic sand and sugar sand the basic same thing?

Honestly, I don't know, but if anyone knows a place to get good, cheap aragonite sand that is oolitic hopefully they will say where and what price.....looking for some soon myself.

So oolitic sand is the same thing as sugar but a bit bigger right?
