Absolutely Gorgeous Live Rock Straight from The Indo Pacific!

[livinlifeinBKK]

Hey guys I found a small rather isolated shop over here nearby which just got some of the absolute most beautiful live rock in stock! not trying to knock maricultured of live rock in any way but imo this stuff is the real deal!

Can't wait to see the hitchhikers in that sucker!

 

[Devaji]

That used to be an everyday occurrence in the U.S. up until 2010 ish. I miss those days. I have this in a bucket getting brought back to life again. It was once all covered in coralline and hitch hikers at one time just like that.

Not yet... trying to make up my mind which pieces i like most

Lol wouldn't expect any more hitchhikers to be present than were present on the practically identical other rock I've gotten in the past. It might shock you that there have not been many actually.

Awesome! Just like live rock used to look back in the day.

Just got a couple pieces... honestly didn't need more rock right now but really couldn't help myself haha

 

[ReefGeezer]

Wow. Could it be exported? LOL.

 

[GatorGreg]

I’ll take hitchhikers good or bad over dead sterile rock any day. Nice rock

 

[livinlifeinBKK]

Wow. Could it be exported? LOL.

If it weren't for the cost of shipping I'd love to hook people up tbh!

 

[livinlifeinBKK]

It just got delivered here from across town!! It's a lot heavier than i expected considering the price...

Alright...just hold on a few minutes...just unpacked it from the bag and put it in a big bowl filled with fresh saltwater because I'm gonna try to catch any hitchhiker crabs that may be on it since it's gonna replace some of the rock in my pico with the Greissenger Goby in it and i don't like the idea of crabs being around him haha...they actually got more today...each piece is $5 regardless of which you choose...

Can't imagine how much biodiversity is on every piece, especially since it just came in yesterday which means it was likely in the ocean less than a week ago!

I miss the early 2000's for this. Not going to say I'm not jealous. dry rock just isn't the same in porosity, density, shape, or weight.

I'm a die hard live rock fan tbh... really don't feel like getting into any debates as to why im such a big fan of it right now though, otherwise I'd add a few more differences between dry and live rock...I'll just say it's very different.

 

[Lost in the Sauce]

That some Fantastic looking rock.

That some Fantastic looking rock.

Like i said earlier, i really didn't need any additional rock right now but couldn't help myself when I saw these pieces...i absolutely love that coralline and the fact that it was almost certainly in the ocean less than a week ago plus it certainly didn't break the bank.

 

[toadstool_paradise]

Absolutely stunning rock! Worth any hitchhikers you may get for sure.
