it could be contaminated

not defending but i did check feedback on this company and they were 100%, also was guarenteed to be live and quarentine before was shipped

For sand I would get dry sand and seed it with live rock. Takes a bit longer but much cheaper and depending on the quality of the sand sometimes "live" is not much better than "dry".

i think it wouold be best if you do half live half dry
