Since the rock comes from Walt Smith I thought I would mention how they process it. Then people can decide how they want to treat/cure it.

The live rock is harvested and brought onto a large dock. There it is pressure washed with saltwater. Yes they run saltwater through a regular pressure washer. The rock is then dried in the sun and then kept from getting wet.

Cheers,
Tim

What is the point of this? I don't understand why someone would want to buy this when you can buy it live.
