For me...good live rock should be treated with as much respect for the life on it as you might with a new fish. Goodness knows it costs enough! LR is (by a factor of 10) the most expensive live thing that I've put in my tank.

I do respect that everybody wants something different from their tank. Me..I expect a lot more from my live rock.
Live rock is merely rock that is loaded with bacteria. when you cook rock you end up with rock that is loaded with bacteria, pods, worms, and other critters.. all you lose is the vegetation. so in essence it is "clean, renewed live rock"
