Branch rock (dry or live)

I’ve struck out trying to find any kind of branch rock locally.

anyone have any suggestions on where to get branch rock from?

thanks!

I've found 8 or so lbs on ebay in a couple separate listings. Here is one now - https://www.ebay.com/itm/165191856774?hash=item267633b286:g:8SUAAOSwz1hhmBWv.

This one is only a pound, but intersting shapes... https://www.ebay.com/itm/115094322297?hash=item1acc27fc79:g:e6QAAOSwXilhkGEq Check etsy also...

does anyone have any experience with the Real Reef Fancy rock?

Ebay has some awesome pieces

Im just nervous about buying any of them and them breaking during shipping.

I guess there is glue...

If they break during shipping, they are not what you agreed to buy. PP will side with you every time. These are on the seller to ensure that they arrive in the condition advertised.

Check out my build thread for what can be done with the less realistic version of artificial branch rock. I think there are videos on youtube with folks who have made branch scapes with the realreefrock. I guess it comes down to preference. I know what I know, and I can't unknow it. For my rescape (Jetson's thread) I would know that I wouldn't have exactly what I wanted and I am unwilling to settle at this point. That realreef branch rock does look quite nice though.
