Is it because it is very pouris compared to most reef rock?

Maybe it's because all of the shapes that are available?


As a matter of fact......
If you seen a reef aquarium that was loaded with this stuff, you would be hard pressed to figure out what kind of rock it is. (Nevermind figuring out if it was man made or pillaged from a reef.)

Well when I think of man made I think of that oyster shell/concrete rock.. I have some man made stuff and its solid, not pouris at all and it looks crappy.

if you guys mean its dead rock put into the ocean to be seeded, than thats different IMO as it's still natural rock.

This rock, (I don't think I am wrong) is dead reef rock, that is a natural rock or dead coral from a previous reef that has either died or taken out of the water (harvested). It is then stored until it is needed, and placed on a live reef for min. 6 months, to get it alive again. It is in my tank and I can't tell the difference, beit I am not very experienced but? I would actually prefer to buy this rock in the dead form and seed it myself (I know what your thinking and stop) in my reef, especially if it could be offered at a lower price as shipping would be lower, and if the savings was past on to the consumer, it would be my first choice.
Just my opinion but I think it is great rock.
Thanks for reading.

I think I remember seeing it, and it certainly didn't look man-made.
