what is live rock
Live rock is rock from the ocean that has been introduced into a saltwater aquarium. Along with live sand, it confers to the closed marine system multiple benefits desired by the saltwater aquarium hobbyist.ase rock, or dry rock, is a generic term for aragonite rock that has no organisms growing in or on the rock.
