I am pretty sure most lr is either aquacultured now, or just remove pieces that are already broken off, Strict laws now days.
I like fiji, and it seems that the odds of gettign mantis shrimp are greater with florida rock. Just an observation I have noticed. Ask around, and you will also find that more people who have gotten floraida have found mantis shrimps than those with fiji.

I believe Florida Rock in more dense and it takes almost twice as much to get the same biological benefits. I have seen it posted in a few places that it takes about 2 lbs per gallon instead of the 1 to 1 1/2 of more pourous rock.
Florida Rock does come with some amazing life on it though and I have heard you do get free mantis shrimp at no extra charge. However, I did get a free mantis shrimp with my fiji also.

HI
Been studying liverock for some time and wanted to share about FL LR. Most places (email me if you want the name Zanyzack2@aol.com) that sell the rock take great care of the reefs and have to or their permits would go away. Aquaculture does save our reefs, so please do buy aquaculture. Fiji rock, only a small portion is aqauclurtered, what some of companies do is get the town boys and give them masks and chizzes(SP?) and they get rock and throw it on the beach.
the rock is denser but the life on it makes up for it. I have servel pounds of it and all pieces are just filled with stuff, like corals and sponges and what not.
Mantis shrimp: I got one and it is very cool. The gulf and FL ones are suppose to be a lot peaceful then Fijis and Indonesians. My friend picks them up and sometimes the mantis hits him. Not hurt that much.
Anyway please buy aquaculture, ask before you buy and save our reefs.
