Our live rock is kept in saltwater and is fully cured. We recommend a quick rinse in a 5-gallon pre-mixed salt water bucket or vat before adding the live rock to your aquarium. Each piece of live rock is individually wrapped in saltwater-soaked paper and wrapped in bubble wrap and shipped in a Styrofoam lined box.
