Just out of curiosity, how would you be able to tell the difference??? Is it possible to tell them apart?

That's great and weird also. I believe the coralline on these rock are artificial

The Rock in the picture is man made..

I hear that it is more dense than premium live rock. Stores out here charge $8-10/LB (depending on which manmade product) so even if it is cheaper, it still comes out to more usually because it is heavier. So to put it in perspective, a 50 Lb. box of the fake stuff wouldn't fill a 40G breeder as well as 50 Lbs. of premium live rock and could still cost more.

The advantages that I can see are that it is ecologically friendly and pest free but there are 2 products that are man made. One is dry (obviously pest free) and the other is sold as cured rock. The cured type is only pest free provided that the source (distributor or LFS) keeps it in a pest free system.

the coralline is artificial but they use argonite to make the rock which will definitely boost your coralline
