Live rock is basically accumulated coral skeletons with bacteria living in it. It's good for aquariums as as it helps with filtration and such. posted by pealco at 7:19 PM on June 19, 2004
Sought after by hobbyists because of the additional life forms found on it. Do not introduce uncured rock to an existing aquarium without first curing it.
A simple and very effective way to treat for and eliminate unwanted critters from fresh Live Rock is to dip each piece in a bucket of very saline water (SG 1.030) for 20-30 seconds. Mantis shrimp will quickly evacuate the rock. Bristle worms will also crawl out and can be pulled from their holes with tweezers. - from a google search. posted by dash_slot- at 7:28 PM on June 19, 2004
