    Can you pull the rocks out and peel the cloves off?

    I wish, theres nothing to peel off. Each clove has their own base, they also release toxins when pulled/scraped off.

    I could replace all of my rock is all else fails.

    I actually like the look of the cloves lol. If it were me, I'd cure some base rock with your used water in a brute till it becomes Live and swap the rock out.
