    Ok, maybe I am missing something here, but does this look like live rock that has been curing for 3.5 years and is loaded with coralline? I used it anyhow to build a cool new arch for the fish but I feel like I got hosed a bit on this one.

    The two ultra white rock are the cured rock loaded with coralline supposedly. :) (That purple piece at the top was already mine)

    yikes. Did they not have pictures of it on there? I would say that deserves a little negative feedback, or neutral at the least.

    How much did you pay for that base rock if you don't mind me asking?

    even the slightest amount of air will turn coralline white... IMO, I would expect it to arrive white... if it was 100% covered in purple, I would expect the whole thing to be white...

    without seeing the rock up close...
