Gulfcoast live rock?

[gixxer600]

Thinking about ordering from them as i have heard good things about their rock. I am looking at the coralline rock and not the deco rock with all the "things" on it. Was wondering if anybody on here has bought from them before and what their experiences were. Thanks for the help.

Their stuff looks good and lots of cool stuff on the deco rock but, I would be more afraid of what can’t be seen. For me, I have used rock like this from the gulf and the bad stuff that came with the rock more than outweighed the good stuff (bad crabs, bad snails, whelks to name a few). If the coralline rock was cultured in the gulf it may still have some of the bad stuff. Not saying don’t use it, just beware. I’m using dry rock just to avoid the pests on new tanks.

Yeah i have been thinking about that as well and they say there is none of the "life" on there such as hitchhikers but you never know.

Thats cool and not sure how they prevent it but may be worth a try. I'd love to see pictures.
