I received 5lbs yesterday. Very well packed with excellent communication from Eric. He sent pictures via text and I let him know which ones I liked. He worked with the weight and my requests. I highly recommend among the reef!
So appreciate that Jason! I’m really glad the rock came in well and the packing worked. It’s a pleasure providing this stuff to you guys and I’m just stoked we still have this rock as an option. This style really has a sex appeal to it!

Some pics of the rocks Eric sent me.
I asked for 250 dollars worth. He told me shipping 2 days UPS from California to NY will be 41 dollars.
Maybe a box charge. I didn't ask. I like him for the service and don't nickel and dime him.
Haggle a little yes. Lol
For rock I didn't.
Total 7.58 lbs shipped 2 days 250 bucks. 5 pieces total. Packed nice you can see not any breakage. Very little.
I asked for more color not life. I am definitely happy. Next time I am sure he is going up in price.
This rock is definitely lighter than Unique corals. I have both.
Unique corals was more dense, heavier. Color and life form are same. It's very light difference. I was happy with Unique rock too .
I am just nitpicking.

If your young and only remember dry rock, reef rock, Caribbsea etc do me a favor buy 5 lbs and see it.
You never know when Australia will close for rock and you will never get to witness this.
Here are the pics. My scale reads lbs:Oz

Thank you Eric.

If I were in the States I'd get some...over here I'm quite content with my all wild live rock tank (I think it's from Indonesia)...the coralline that comes on it is absolutely beautiful! The only downside is that it's difficult to find larger pieces here...wild live rock is definitely worth the investment imo...not sure if Indonesian is even an option in America or most places though so like I said if I were in America I'd make the investment into some of this Australian LR

Holy smokes! Now that’s a review I wasn’t expecting! Thanks bud! I’m really glad you like the rock and that it came in well with little breakage. 5 pieces for 8 lbs is darn good! Tank looks great with that rock in there! Appreciate the biz and follow up!

Bumping the thread.....we still have awesome rock in stock, with the coraline really coming on strong and sponges coming back to life......Rock is looking so good. Hit me up if you're looking. Some rubble still left as well but has been going fast!

Picked up 20 lbs from the shop and all I can say was WOW! Love the rock for how light and porous it is. It kind of reminds me of the old pukani rock but so much nicer. So much life on it you wont regret it!

Pukani exactly. I used to call it Tukani which is a funny story in itself but I totally agree it’s the same rock.

What do you have available...I am in Rhode Island!
What’s up over there at the top of the world? The rock I ended up selling out and we had to move warehouses. So for now, you need to contact Unique Coral and have them let you know when they get more in stock. I hooked them up with the same rock.
