Volume/density of different live rocks

Hi, everyone.
I've never ordered any live rocks before, so I would like to know how much does live rock occupy volume-wise. Also, does anyone have pictures of the rock they received from online purchased? Lastly, does the density differ from different live rocks such as Fiji, Kaelini, Tonga, Marshall?
Thanks in advance.

yes, the densityies will vary, so that makes your question difficult to answer
we have ordered on line, but have no pictures, we are satisfied with what we ordered except for the size
as for rock, i prefer to avoid florida, it seems to have the highest probability for mantis shrimp(nothing concrete, just my observation of teh little i have seen)

Another problem with Florda aquacultured live rock is it is extremely heavy (very dense) for the size you get. I prefer Fiji rock which is very pourus so a big piece does not weigh that much.
