Where did you get it from?
TBS has aquacultured rocks with corals growing on them for sale.

I believe most LR sold out of the Gulf are entrepreneur who dive who lease an area of gulf bottom from the State of Florida anywhere 8 to 30 miles out.
It's usually in 30ft of water and they dive to seed rock and retrieve previous seeded rock every 3mos
My point is when they take a boat out to their lease area, you have no idea where the "seed rock" came from.
They could be buying rock off Craigslistfrom reefers who are getting out of the hobby and selling the rock dirt cheap at $1/lbs
Once they seed the rock and wait 3-6mos they sell it for ultra premium prices
YOUR ROCK may have previously used in a reef tank, then bought by these divers to transform nto ultra premium LR... but had previous hitchhikers on it.
