"Aussie Live Rock sustainably harvested, spent less than 4 days from ocean to tank in the US"

Aussie here. Probably Cairns Marine premium live rock.
Costs about $450AUD for 20kg.

Man…I needs it.

but for now I’m happy with my KP rock. That in and of itself was hard enough to justify to my family.

I wonder what it looks like without all that blue light

Still very pretty. It's just as impressive in person.

Wheat, i doubt its the same as the LR from cairns marine. If its true that it was for an acropora spawning experiment, i dont think it was from them. The fact that it spent 4 days out of water from australia to the USA is the real value.

Awesome rock, but $20 a lb! Might be good to seed a tank of dry rock with 5 or 10 lbs.

I was going to pick up some this week but couldn’t spare the time. Hopefully they’ll have it back in soon? I would rather spend $150 on live rock than a 3/4” frag nub.

I got some. It has a white flaky substance all over it with some small pink/red portions peeking out of it. Is this because it was out of water and wrapped with wet paper when shipped from Unique?

Could be bacteria and/or sponges? How heavy is the rock? Is it dense?

Super light. Some it broke on me while handling.

Could you please post a pic under regular lighting? Id really like to see what it looks like without all the blue thats in the pics on the unique website. I have 50 lbs coming and the suspense is killing me!

I cant see the white flaky stuff you are talking about in the pic that you posted

Nice! I’m 15 minutes away from them, so I can’t wait for them to get stock again.
