That is considered by many to be a "wet" sand. Whether it is "live" or not depends on whether you consider the bacteria in the sealed bag to be alive or not after sitting on a shelf for weeks/months.

Yes, it's alive. A lot of the people here do not recommend spending the extra money for "live" bagged sand because as stated by RocketEngineer it has probably sat on a shelf for months and does not carry the amount of bacteria that it had when packaged.

Oh, and real live sand, the expensive stuff that gets shipped the same way as fish and corals get shipped, that stuff has more then just bacteria in it. It has pods, worms, and in my case I got a couple sea urchins and star fish in it.

Isn't that "live" sand just sand that's packaged in this pretty much? (link below) If it's not good in the bag then it's not good in the container as well, which is kind of hard to believe IMO. I still think your better off just buying dry sand and letting nature take it's course though. Like mentioned above, if your going to buy "live" sand make sure it comes equipped with pods, worms, brittle stars etc. GL.

Here's a link for dry Aragonite sand if that's what you want. I have it and like it but I don't have much experience since my tank is still cycling
