Welcome to the boards!!! The rock from this site is very nice. It will need to be cured. Any rock that is shipped needs to be cured. Keep the ammonia below 1.0ppm. You may have some cool hitch hikers on the rocks.

It absolutely needs to be re-cured if you have live stock already. There is always some die off, during shipping, that will cause a spike.

Any rock that is shipped has die off, unless they send it fully submerged in a tub of water with a portable powerhead and heater in it, which does not happen. Out of respect for SWF, please do not post the name of other sites.

Die off is caused when animals and plants used to living in the water die when they are removed from the water (shipping live rock). The only way to ship rock and not have to cure it is if it is "dead" rock to begin with.
