No, many aquarists choose the go 'bare bottom', with no substrate at the bottom of the tank. It is used most often in aquariums keeping the more delecate small polyp stony corals(SPS), as it helps to keep nutrients at a minimum.
The coral reefs are mostly able to grow in clay like material that keeps the coral stable. They just need sand for certain corals and other grow on solid rock surfaces. It just depends if the coral is a Small polyp stoney corals or a large polyp stony or some other kind of soft coral.
The Finisterre, Sarawat, and Rawlinson ranges in New Guinea are made of coral limestone. The Guadalupe Mountains in Texas were coral reefs millions of years ago.
Non-living things in an aquarium can include gravel or sand for substrate, rocks or driftwood for decoration, artificial plants, filters, heaters, air pumps, lighting fixtures, and the aquarium itself (tank, lid, stand).
Any plant will grow in the sand if it is watered (mechanically, if need be) according to the plants needs. If you mean "what herbs grow in the sand naturally?" .... I have seen Datura aka jimsonweed grow in the sand... of course there are lots of herbs on this list. Also, did you mean medicinal herbs?
Soil provides a more suitable environment for plant growth due to its higher nutrient content, ability to hold water, and presence of beneficial microorganisms. Sand, on the other hand, lacks nutrients, has poor water retention, and does not support the microbial activity necessary for healthy plant growth.

All you need is an aquarium, a filter, a lighting system, sand, live rocks, some saltwater, and something to start the cycle.
Yes coral does turn to sand when a fishdigests it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That would be a frag plug, which is a small disk made of sand and concrete. They are used to glue small pieces of coral too so that it won't get blown away or knocked over, while it is trying to grow and establish a base.
Its the rock, sand, gravel, whatever on the bottom of an aquarium.
You mean substrate?
Pick a tree that does not need soil or sand to grow in.
They don't grow better in sand they need more attention than in soil. They don't grow better they will survive but need more attention than in soil.
because the fish want it
Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park was created in 1963.
I have a 120 Gallon aquarium with sand. They love it.
a terrarium empty.
