It's actually a lot bluer than that.

Haha, no. I've never seen rock that was blue, and by the way that one piece is chipped off, it's a deeper shade of blue on the interior. I've only seen the earthy-toned live rock or live rock covered in algae, and that blue stuff isn't algae. Someone told me it was coral, like old coral. I'm just seeing if someone on here has seen rock like this before. I think I've seen it once before in spbeyond's tank, like 6-7 years ago. ------------- Ils sont fous, ces Romains! |

I used to grow and sell it. Alive it is tan with fuzzy not too colorful polyps
which makes it boring to some, but to a coral aficionado, it's awesome. The blue skeleton is even more distinctive in the live coral, but only visible when fragging.   ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member

Thank you. I'm going to be using it as live rock unless someone on here compels me otherwise. ------------- Ils sont fous, ces Romains! |
