Probably! If they are stirring up the sand when they swim it will get into your pump and eventually wreck it.

Coral sand is course and heavier...I would use that

Unfortunately yes! When my fish swim near the coral sand it moves but doesn't float up into the water column....

Another nice thing is that it packs tight enough not to need gravel vac!

If I was you I would be getting that sand out, and repacking it with washed coral sand
