So, when washing, you may lose a lot of the finer sand grains (aka. dust)? I have a gravel base on my aquarium, so I have never needed to wash sand. Will the larger grains (and thus coarser sand) still be fine for the moulting crabs?

I figure if it doesn't kill them on the beach it's not going to hurt them in my tank.
Even quite large sand is still going to be a lot smaller than aquarium gravel which is the one that's not recommended for them.
