LR supposed to be pink?

[daisy]

I was moving some LR from my established 55 to my new 58, and a piece broke a little, revealing the pink inside of the rock.
:notsure: pink? Is that normal?

It just means that it's a little more on the rare side. Throw it on the grill for about 5 minutes then check it again....
Sorry, couldn't help it. I'm not sure if that is anything to worry about. I'm sure there are very few of us that intentionally break a piece of LR to see what it looks like on the inside. I wouldn't worry about it too much, but maybe someone else could shed some light on this.

I believe that live rock isn't actually rock but a build up of dead coral skeletons and such that has grow and died. and after may , may years of this it becomes like a rock. So something that has grow to make this peice of rock may have been this color. Well I may just be full of it also.......anyone?

hrm.. Just a guess. Bleached Coraline? If its soft it could be a sponge

 

[daisy]

It was definitely soft! It basically started to crumble in my fingers. You think it was sponge? Hmmm... It looks like rock on the outside, though.

I just got some rock and the coraline crumbled off from the underside and was kind of soft. But I dont know! :notsure:
