KP live rock orI tend to agree with what you're saying...imo the longer the rock is in the natural environment, the more mature it becomes and that likely translates to more diversity as well which is what people are generally aiming for with "real" live rock...fwiw I always differentiate between real live rock harvested from the ocean and LFS live rock from bottled bac (I've never dealt with maricultured rock but would assume its in between but closer to the natural ocean rock)
Gulf live rock is from the ocean and has all the benefits from being collected from there
Regardless if it was placed there. It’s in the ocean. Full of life. Has Nvr been in contact w the bottle bacteria. Lfs “live rock” was Nvr in the discussion And back to the OP if he decides to get a clam, then use of live rock will help him cycle his tank and add the bacteria needed to increase success. I have had same positive results w all my tanks from using live rock sourced
From the indo pacific including Australia and that from the gulf. It’s the way to go imo.
