I believe they carry some sort of live rock, but to be honest...it looks like shit, our LFS are really not that good to be honest.

Most of the time, you get these pieces that don't quite quite fit, being too big, too bulky on one end, odd shape, etc... The end result being some ghastly Roman-column layout vaguely reminiscent of those terrible slate-scaped African cichlid tanks. Nevermind the fact that you can't really clean under them and fish don't explore caves like an adventure quest; they're either up at the glass waiting for food or being frustratingly cryptic. Flat shelf caves don't help solve either issue.
I disagree, for those who like a minimalistic aquascapes, having separate "islands" looks pretty cool if its well done.
