    Hello all,
    I am looking for Marshall island live rock. only place online i have found is aquacon. I am hearing nothing but bad about them and its a little suspicious they are the only ones with that rock.
    I know of the ban that was in place, but heard it was lifted. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Everything I looked at says there is still a ban on collecting Marshall Island rock. I don't know what they have for sale on aquacon. It seems your best bet would be to look for second hand Marshall LR.

    Is it some kind of special rock or something?

    It is different just like rock from other places. It is the only kind of rock i have in my tank. It is less dense and very branchy with a lot of surface area and usually is covered with lavender coralline algae.

    The bad reviews for aquacon completely dwarf any good ones. Stay away...
