live rocks are rocks. corals are living animals.
theyre are different kinds of live rock; tonga, fiji, tufa, lace, etc. it all depends on where it came from. these rocks have different textures, weights, and shapes. now some of the rocks you are seeing may be dead coral skeletons, which are calcium carbonate AKA limestone.
