Hey Tom,

How much was your order in pounds of rock? I have been thinking on getting some of this myself so I wanted to know how much that duty/tax/etc. was spread over from a per pound perspective.

just wondering how is this rock eco friendly if its taken from the ocean and just dried ?

Unless i missed something Eco-friendly is about sustaining our ecosystem with a safe way of doing things. Is the rock put into the ocean for a length of time then removed ? cause that kinda looked like dead coral... hope it was dead before they pulled it out

i think its from reefs that are bleached and i don't think that they would be pulling live corals out of the ocean and then drying them if anything they would try and sell those corals

Yeah I believe the big point to these rocks is that they are free of pests and that they ship better than wet rock because of weight.

Rocks like these are lying all over the beach! They get wash up buy storms. There were pieces of "dead rock" on the beach in Maui big enough to aqua-scape one side of my aquarium. LOL I would stand there and imagine where I would mount corals if I could take it home.
