Has anyone purchased live rock such as Tonga and Fiji from liveaquaria.com...?

I was wondering if anyone has purchased some liverock from Liveaquaria.com. If you have were you happy with your live rock? Was there a lot of useless rubble? If I could see some pics of your live rock especially the Tonga and the Fiji I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
John

I ordered some from there a few years ago, looked like something someone picked up in a parking lot. If you want rock that is alive get some aquacultured stuff from Gulfview. Great customer service and beautiful rock.

sorry, dont have any pics, but i got 22lbs of Fiji from them a month ago. there wasnt a lot of rubble. it was basically 4 decent size rocks. although, two of them looked like they were one and someone cut them in half with a chainsaw or something. i wouldnt say that they had a lot of life on them. there was a huge stalk of bubble algea (i think) that i ripped off and some sponge...whatever. i guess it is up to you...if you want all the cool suprise creatures you should go elsewhere. if you just want live rock, this is probably fine and i'm sure it will cover with coralline and everything once it is in the tank for a while.
