In weighing the pros and cons of live and dead rock I have been thinking about how legitimate fears that live rock will come with a bunch of pests actually are. I have used dry rock in the past and have experienced the difficulties that come with using 100% dry rock.
I know that there might be certain algae types on live rock, as well as the possible mantis shrimp in a shipment of fresh rock. My question is can pests such as Acro Eating Flat Worms, Zoanthid Eating Nudis, Red Bugs etc survive without their food source in an aquarium or curing bucket that doesn't have any corals?
