Perfect, my go to sand for years.
Pistol shrimp and gobies are fine.
And be wary, some gobies can throw sand all over and bury corals on the ground. I prefer the shrimp gobies to the sand sifters for that reason.

?? Grain size would be the determining factor here.
BRS 1-2mm
Pet Smart claims it comes in various grain sizes but that bags grain size is not listed on the bag.

Available in the ideal grain sizes (approximately 1-2 mm) for reef tanks, fish aquarium, plenum systems and refugiums.

That’s what pet smart says. I guess I’ll go with it.
