Dry Live Sand?

[Mr.Reefer]

How come that live sand can be sold dry?
I thought it has to be in water to keep the organisms and bacteria alive.

Live sand should be wet or moist Carib sea has just come out with a new live sand that is moist rather than water in the bag, it comes with a small pouch inside that has bacteria and clarifier in it to be added on set-up. I was curious when we first got it in so we tested it in a new tank and it works the same as their other live sand with water in the bag the sand is called Ocean Direct
