BTW, I also encourage you to look at the particle differences between calcareous sands (eg the north shore Hawaii one) and the volcanic/siliceous sands. The angularity is sometimes striking...and it does impact microfauna and even larger sand sifters in some cases. Not all calcareous sands are quite so rounded but siliceous sand is frequently relatively more angular.

This is one of the reasons we don't recommend silica sands for seahorses.

Alright, so I am officially talked out of black sand.
Thanks, op for bringing this to our attention. Hope things work out for you.
And thanks to the rest of you for all the facts and advice!!

Yes, electricity moves very well through saltwater. That's why I find it hard to believe anything submerged in saltwater could build a static charge.
