Its highly illegal and very unmoral.

The liverock you and I buy are actually from man made reefs. Rock that was dumped in the ocean letting it sit for years and establishing biomass. If it wasn't done this way... our reefs would be in terrible danger and under extreeme exploitation. If every reef aquarist would take even 20-30lbs of liverock from the ocean that wasn't man made, there wouldn't be any reef left after maybe only a decade.

"Hey,

I did some diving in the keys and found me some really good live rocks and save alot of money too. The rocks are just awesome. I dont know if its illegal. It might be! It aint cheating unless you get caught!

Pin"

This statement really sadens me, did you ever consider what you did was illegal?
