	Coral sand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Coral sand is sand of particles originating in tropical and sub-tropical marine environments from bioerosion of limestone skeletal material of marine organisms.
		One example of this process is that of parrot fishes which bite off pieces of coral, digest the living tissue, and excrete the inorganic component as silt and sand.
		In an effort to prevent damage from reef sand minding, the Convention on international trade in endangered species urged parties to the convention to work for the conservation and sustainable use of the coral reef ecosystems.

		Coral calcium is derived from coral sand collected from the floor of the adjacent shallow seas or land masses of the Ryukyu Islands of Japan.
		While coral sand is composed of a significant amount of "dead coral," other components of this sediment may include variable amounts of marine plant life and dead, unicellular, marine life.
		Coral calcium forms an exciting category of supplements, but its future is challenged somewhat by isolated "industry hype" that transcends our current level of scientific knowledge.

	Where does St. John sand come from?
		Sand beaches like these are found in areas where the water offshore is relatively shallow, the depth drops off gradually and the coral reefs and headlands are strategically located.
		Most of our sand is produced by the force of waves and currents acting on the coral reef as coral, calcareous algae, (algae with a hard exoskeleton) the shells of various sea creatures and sea urchin spines (which make up those little fl grains of sand) are gradually broken down into sand sized grains.
		However, sand from the drier upper portion of the beach is often blown by winds past the line of vegetation where it will stay forever in the form of soil.

	coral (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The sand flat is made up of broken skeletons of corals, coralline algae, and other reef organisms derived from the reef front and coral flat and transported toward the lagoon as sands and gravels.
		Reefs in the middle and inner parts are dominated by accumulations of sand, and the coral framework forms a much smaller proportion of the reef, reflecting the calmer sea, or lower energy conditions compared with the outer reef.
		Coral reef primary productivity is usually very much higher than areas where these nutrients are more abundant but recycling rates of the corals and zooxanthellae are high but the harvestable primary productivity is low because most of the organic matter produced is metabolized and nutrients are freed to be reused in photosynthesis.

	Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, Utah
		There's a lot of sand in the rolling, juniper and pinyon pine-covered land around Kanab in the far south of Utah, coloured variously orange, reddish or pink, all remnants of the Wingate and Kayenta sandstone that forms the Vermilion Cliffs to the southeast.
		A more concentrated accumulation of light red sand is found a few miles south of the road, where a long strip of large crescent-shaped dunes has formed in a depression beneath the Moquith Mountains, and part of this is protected as the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park.
		Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park does have a small campground for an additional $12, or there are plenty of opportunities for free camping in the surrounding BLM land.

		A "notch" between the Moquith and Moccasin Mountains direct the windblown sand (the venturi effect) to the southwest corner of Southern Utah.
		The reddish colored sand was supplied courtesy of ancient Navajo sandstone carried from the Virgin River to the bottom of the Cane Beds.

	Coral Reef Adventure
		Corals are mainly colonies, budding new animals as the thin layer of tissue on top of the external skeleton expands in area.
		Corals (and the algae that live in the corals) can only grow in a few regions of the world where the water is shallow enough for sufficient sunlight, where there is not too much silt in the water, and where the water temperature is warm enough---but not too warm.
		Coral reefs are among the most beautiful ecosystems in the world but are also among the most susceptible to human impacts and are damaged or destroyed with alarming ease.

	Sand for the Aquarium
		Sand is not a good choice for a planted tank if using rooted plants, it’s also undesireable if you have an undergravel filter system.
		Coral Sand is an off white color, lighter than the previous sands, and less uniform.
		Pour about 2 gallons of sand into the bucket and fill the bucket with water, pour the excess dirt film from the bucket, then really churn the sand while giving it a high pressure spray, this will get most of the dust, etc, off the sand.

	ACTION ATLAS: Coral Reefs: Reefs In Trouble
		Corals have seen it all—they were here long before the dinosaurs came and went—but like any animal, when they're poisoned or dynamited, buried or crushed, smothered or cooked, they die.
		Coral reef zones are home to one quarter of all marine plants and animals: Nearly a million species of fish, crabs, eels, mollusks, sponges, worms, grasses, algae, and other marine animals live on reefs or use them as nurseries to protect their young.
		Coral reefs are one big underwater amusement park for snorkelers and divers, a searingly colorful undersea world of Cousteauian delights—which drives a tourist industry worth tens of billions of dollars, in many cases propping up the economies of entire nations.

		There is no way of separating sand from coral hence marine coral is a mixture which would be more accurately named "coral sand".
		It is not a matter of carefully harvesting bits of coral as they fall from the reef due to currents and fish munching on it, as is portrayed on some web sites.
		Barefoot and the Marine Coral promoters claim to have discovered a better quality of coral because it has a naturally occurring high magnesium content - conveniently at 12% which is exactly what is needed to be in the commonly recommended two to one ratio of calcium to magnesium (24% calcium to 12% magnesium).

	Live Sand System
		Coarser sand tends to be difficult for creatures to move and even may be damaging to the very sand creature who stir and sift the sand and will also trap debris.
		This sand substrate is nonbiogenous in origin and is formed by natural precipitation in only a few tropical oceanic regions throughout the world.
		The bacteria on the sand are in a biofilm, therefore the bacteria are in their natural state, immediately removing toxic waste.

	Live sand (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Live sand varies in its composition, depending on where it was collected, but it typically consists of coral sand (i.e., pulverized and eroded pieces of coral), pieces of the calcareous algae Halimeda and the remains of minute, shelled protozoa known as forams (Order Foraminiferida).
		For example, sand collected from southern Florida tends to be lighter in color and usually of a smaller grade, while sand taken from the Gulf coast of Florida tends to be gray in color, the grains are of varying size and there are lots of larger bits of rubble mixed in.
		Live sand is also being sent from the tropical Pacific Ocean, although it seems to be less "alive," possibly as a result of the long travel times and possible poor treatment that the sand is subjected to.

	Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, UT (DesertUSA)
		Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park encompasses 3,730 acres of southwestern Utah where a stunning, coral-colored dunefield is surrounded by red sandstone cliffs, blue skies and juniper/pinyon forests.
		The park was established in 1963 with land acquired from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to serve as access to the dunes for recreation, and to protect the dune resources.
		The park's sand dunes are created because a notch between the Moquith and Moccasin mountains funnels the prevailing winds, increasing their velocity to a point where they can carry sand grains in what is called the Venturi Effect.
