online Live rock....
I was looking for some LR online and i was wondering who's a good online vendor for it? I want some very porous rock with a lot of life on it, i'd actually prefer some hitch hikers. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

i know that florida aquacultured stuff is loaded with life, some good and some not so good (mantis etc)
i got mine from liveaquaria, really nice pieces, it had some crabs and worm things but they didnt survive the 48 hour trip. so if you want things to stay alive id go for the overnight shipping.
got some nice feather dusters that made it
locally is still the best but sometimes its just so easy to go online

I found ours at PremiumAquatics.com we actually went to the place adn it has been great rock with TONS of life, starfish, snails, sponges, zoos and we have only had it for 3 weeks Lots of coraline algae in purple, green, white, pink - smelled fresh and we have had very little die off.
If you mail order PAY THE EXTRA for overnight delivery if you want it alive...
Good luck

I am sorry about the confusion, I meant Premium Aquatics.
They are in Indianapolis.
