Freshly harvested live rock, now what?
Suppose you have a 1 kg piece of freshly harvested "live" rock.
Imagine fossil stone that was mined years ago and placed on the reef especially for these purposes. The piece of stone is packed under water so that it remains wet and does not come into contact with the surrounding air after harvest. It is cooled slowly and stored in the dark during transport. On shore, the harvest water is replaced by sufficient fresh seawater and the stone placed in a cool-box is delivered to the door as 'fresh' within 24 hours.
Assuming you're prepared for its arrival, what do you do with it next?
What would you use it for and how?
