Default Substrate sugestions

I am looking a this substrate Aragamax Aquarium Sand will this be ok for a jawfish? I plan to also add reef rubble/larger shell pieces from this mix CaribSea Seaflor Super Reef Sand 40 lb (Saltwater Aquarium Supplies > Substrates > Dry Sand ) for him as needed, to build his burrow. Will this work?

The first looks fine, the 2nd looks to bulky for jawfish...I would stick with just the aragamax sand.

Yeah, stay with the fine sand and then when the jawfish starts amking a burrow, add a few small shells and small pieces of LR.
