Need help Identifying rock

Had this rock for a long time. I have used it in a red without problems, just won't slow anything to grow on it. What is it?

It looks like Lace rock IMO. A lot of LFS sell this. It's kind of heavy, but the gnarly shapes can make for some cool rock structures. (especially for fish such as African Ciclids)

+1 to lace rock or something similar. Typically found in freshwater tanks but could be used in saltwater without issue
