Anyone have recent pics of new purple colored rock from this company, Any Good???
 
I do not have any experience with Marco Rocks, but the Caribsea Liferock with the purple coating is like a food grade dye with bacterial spores in it. The purple color fades very quickly as the rocks age... but, it lasts long enough for natural coraline algae to start taking over and the rocks will have a more natural look from the start.

When you dry them out and go to reuse them later down the road, they will be white/grey...

Algae seems to consume the pigment on marcorocks as well. As for a look at what they look like. The pic of them on brs is very comparable to what you’ll get.
