Agree this is debatable, but hopefully not much longer. On balance, taking into account the destruction of reefs with wild live rock collection, I really think the argument for live rock collection is getting less viable. There are many ways to duplicate the biodiversity that accompanies wild collected live rock, and those methodologies are getting better and cheaper every day. Hopefully we can make the transition to not taking any rock from reefs, similar to more and more aquacultured corals and fish being available every day. With live rock collection from reefs - it is kind of like the difference between trimming your grass, and ripping up the sod completely. Kind of silly when you think about it.
