    Live sand and pests?

    I am shortly doing a restart on a tank, using dry rocks to try and start out as pest free as possible. I was looking at the RedSea live vs dry sand and my question is, is live sand pest free, or similar to live rock in that it can harbour nasties (ie aptasia spores etc) ?
