I’m just stoked on this live rock. We have been soaking and playing with it now for about 10 days. Water chemistry in our system is perfect which is amazing after loading over 500lbs into it. Hope you all agree this is some beautiful rock, and considering the fact that I have seen more than my share of rock over the past three decades, this is some good scleractinia:)

There are no anchors in this batch. No heavy pieces that would cost you a fortune. All the rock is pure coral skeleton and as you can see, just beautiful.
I wanted to make it simple and affordable so we have a minimum of 5 lbs per order but it’s way more rock than you would think. 20 lbs fills up a big fish box that normally would be 60 lbs of dry rock on the market or heavy artificial rock.
We ship 2nd day ups to your door at an affordable price! Shipping is not included in the price but it’s really not bad with our rates. If you’re setting up a new tank or just want to add some real rock for bio diversity, this is some great stuff. I really enjoyed taking these pics today.

Gorgeous looking rocks Eric. Did these rocks come in submersed in water or just wet?

I just pack them wet and wrap them in wet towel. I could pack them and have, placed into a plastic fish bag. I use a styro box with a sealed liner too. Works well.
 
Looks nice! What kind of hitchhikers come on this rock? I actually want the stuff that lives on the rock, besides the bacteria. Like sponges and brittle stars.

Most of the sponges are not alive and I try to remove them to clean the rock up a bit but I wouldn’t be surprised if smaller encrusting sponges make it. I don’t see a lot of critters on the rock as it’s so porous that they fall off during shipping and our rinsing. For sure some macro and coralline algae and some corals have made it through. I tried to take a bunch of pics so you can really get the idea. Keep me posted if you want to see more!
