Vendors! Take care of the live rock!!!

[lastlight]

everyone take a deep breath and take a step back.

It's rock.

Unless you're lucky (or unlucky depending on hitchhikers) enough to get some TBS rock into the country the live rock is all pretty dead. You want the bacteria basically. All the rock you buy live is going to have that. The rest has already had plenty die even if it's house a bit better than the next LFS.
