    Taste is overrated, a real spice should make your mouth bleed ;D

    Well lots of good stuff here lol. Boiling water seems to have done them in. I mean I poured it right out of the kettle of the stove on to them. The rock was steamy afterwards lol.

    Pouring scalding water over live rock is not wise, you pretty much nuked half of that rock. Keep an eye on your parms!

    It was only one medium sized rock out of 100+ pounds, might take a little time but it'll make a come back. I was as precise as possible.

    Gotcha, I have heard of folks using a syringe with boiling water, but never someone pouring it on a rock. :)
