Wet Vs, Dry Foam

Yep a dry foam is thick, and produces dark skimmate, and a
wet foam is watery, and produces a watery skimmate.

I had a skimmer running so dry one time that everything in
the collection cup was nothing but piled up crumbles of
bone dry foam. That's not the ideal way to do it, but it
was funny to look at it and say "Now that's a dry foam" :-)

When they say wet or dry foam, they mean relatively wet or dry. A 'wet'
foam will give you a watery skimmate in the collection cup. A 'dry'
foam gives you a thicker skimmate.

For what it's worth, I never got any foam out of my Prizm skimmer. If
you're using a hang on skimmer, the Aqua C Remora is very reliable and
easy to use.
