It is iron that makes it magnetic, although this is not to say it is the only metal in the sand. The company declares the sand 'reef safe'. The comments from those urging you to remove are likely based on the 'better safe than sorry' approach, although I am just guessing. You can always contact the manufacturer and ask them
