I've picked up 3 large pieces (9-16lbs each) that were spectacular & covered with life, including free polyps
 Some of my nicest rock from a LFS for sure. However, like with many things, you have to go in and do your own cherry picking to get what you want.JME Anthony

See the foam container in the pic? That's how it arrives at the shop. I've always ordered mine so I can go in and just grab a couple boxes... but I've also always ordered quite a bit of rock.
They do have a storage/curing tank setup but there is rarely much rock in it.

all the rock at j&l is uncured and usually sold within a week of it arriving. they *will not* cure rock for you at all. believe me i tried, i even offered to pay them to cure it for me. maybe in the past they cured stuff for people but not now.
the few times i had a look thru the bin they had some very nice rock. i doubt i would ever buy the figi after buying the last batch of jakarta. it seems to have way more life and very interesting shapes, the figi is looking more and more like baseballs and boulders these days.

It's best to try to arrange to be there when it arrives (ie, discreetly get the date and time, and then just happen to show up when shipment arrives) for the best choices. But they may not like you hanging over them though, and can be grumpy.

When you look in J&l's holding tanks for their rock it looks like crap, but once you get it home and under some light its amazing the difference. They really need some light on those tanks so people can see what life an colors the rocks are.
