X 2 !
I am in the hobby since 1998 and had a few tanks and always new live rock.
If I ever will set up a new tank I will start with DRY ROCK ONLY.
The reason is pests ! and I mean bad ones will be there. mantis shrimp is NOT the worst. Bobbitt worm is the worst pest IMO.

This beast will eat everything and anything, corals , small fish, mushrooms zoos, LPS. It is a nightmare.
I got rid of one and I have another one growing. this thing is so strong it moves small rocks and pulls staff under rocks ! It's very smart too and hard to catch, if you make your move and miss you will never have a second chance to try in the same way.
Well any way live rock is not worth it because bacteria will grow during first few month and whatever may be still alive on the new live rock you can buy later for cheep.
