Default Marshall Island Rock

Has anyone ever purchased, seen Marshall Island Rock ?

Setting up 180 gallon reef and was looking for something a little different.

Zulu, I've seen a fair amount of Marshall rock, specifically from Seacare. Really nice stuff. It runs about $14/lb on the Island, but Tim sells it for about $8 and change. I find it has a lot more pink corraline and really intersting shapes. I did see one box that was mostly old coral heads and branches, but most I've seen are actual rock shapes.

The shaping is very nice. The corraline coverage is alittle on the thin side. But hey corraline grows fast. The rock will give lots of areas for water to flow through. Tends to be a little lighter than Fiji.

I,m with Jayson. Not much coralline. Very interesting shape. Mine has more green, than purple coralline.

If you were to ask my opinion, I prefer Fiji.

Just hate to, but I gotta disagree. The rock I've seen/bought has been very well covered in corraline. I guess different shipments vary, but mine has some of the best coverage I've seen.

Unfortunately we don't see that stuff on the island.

Perky's Pets in New West just got a shipment of some nice uncured live rock. Not sure what they want per pound but the stuff was full of life.
