Tunga..Tonga comes from Tonga.

Let me tell you about Tonga..

The Kingdom of Tonga is in the south Pacific.

It is an archipeligo consisting of 169 islands, 36 of which are inhabited.

Interestingly enough, Tonga is the only sovereign monarchy among the island nations of the Pacific Ocean, and has never been colonized.

Tonga is also known as the Friendly Islands.

In many Polynesian languages the word "Tonga" means "South".

Live rock is named after the area from which it originated. A large amount of live rock comes from the Southern Pacific region, in areas such as Fiji and <u>Tonga</u>. Each has its own distinct qualities. Live rock from the Fiji region is often porous and large, and rock from the Tonga region is often dense and elongated.

In Aug 2008 collecting of live rock from Tonga was banned... but the ban was recently lifted.
