So many contributing factors .
1) cost of live rock compared to dry
2) some dry rock sold now is manufactured and not collected from actual reefs .
3) manufactured rocks can replicate many different shapes desired
And 4) I read a article somewhere stating rocks such as the pink coloured dry rocks sold in lfs to be environmentally friendly options to preserve reefs and pests free .
I am on the other side of the fence .
I used to enjoy the part of finding new pests and critters , researching what they were etc .
