I don't know whether it will be of any help at this point but trying eco reef rock (the guy is from halifax) might be worth a shot. You will be directly dealing with the guy who will be sending you the rocks so you can specifically ask for proper pieces. Those are man made ocean cured rocks and I started with them. Half the rock in my tank is from there.

No, I don't want any dry/eco/dead rock. Just live.

Technically its live since those are ocean cured for a long time. I didn't face any problem of typical dry rocks. My tank didn't even go through the initial cycle. And he ships like live rock.

Ya, just not what I'm looking for.

Where did you get the rock from? What are they willing to do to make it right?

I have to pursue that before I publicly get into it. The rock came through my LFS via one of our sponsors.

Currently discussing with Walt Smith, who is suggesting he sent no such order. So this appears to be re-boxed LA rock. Or rather, rubble.
