Good afternoon, everyone,

Where can I find pest free live rock? Does this even exist?

Thanks

David
I am following this to see how it is answered. I am under the impression there is no such thing, at least by definition. The purpose of adding a live rock is to add many types of organisms which is thought to be beneficial.
The bad ones/pests/weeds are removed.

If you are looking for aiptasia free live rock then go with KP Aquatics. I have bought from him 3 years (2020, 2021 & 2022) in a row and no aiptasia

All joking aside....
This was my order from KP last year.

The creatures I didn't want were a handful of ruby crabs, pencil urchins, fire worms, and a lone shrimp with a bad attitude. They were all easy to remove and perform well in the sump.
I did make a small order with TBS last month for an idiotic project I'm doing outta boredom and let's just say it didn't go well. I'm just glad my trash guys didn't call the sheriff after smelling that box. So I can't really attest to the critters outta the bay. Good luck.
