Remember LIVE Rock?! Check it out!

I have had many people ask us over the years(mostly local) if we could source them some REAL live rock. With Fiji, and Tonga shut down, I haven't seen real live rock in years!
All that has changed! We finally managed to get a few boxes in(as a trial) from our Aussie suppliers. This rock is AWESOME! If you're looking for some unique, REAL live rock - look no further!

What a good surprise!

Do you know how it gets to you from down under? I think that live rock used to come air freight and kept wet with newspapers. It really stunk, but it was great!

This all came in via Air Freight - which is the majority of the cost of the rock at the retail level.
It comes in covered with the wet newspaper and stinks, but the quality on this stuff far exceeds anything I remember from Fiji. The rock isn't as porous either, so the likelihood of pests seems to be much less.

That rock looks absolutely amazing. Like actual live rock. I was starting to think it was gone forever!

Oh it's real alright! A lot of the shelf pieces are not terribly old tabling Acro colonies that are all filled in and solid! It's beautiful stuff!

I’ve not been able to source any kind of real rock in years and this stuff is awesome. Good coralline coverage, no real evidence of macro algae (showing it came from a more lagoon environment), and not a lot of sediment or die off.

I love the artificial rock but you can’t beat the biodiversity you introduce with the real stuff IMHO

We do have some left! Are you local or looking to have it shipped?

Interested, but don’t see any live rock selection on your site.
