I had a small piece of live rock (6" by 3")in a 1.5 gallon salt water tank. I had an emergency with the tank and had to dump all inhabitants from their water to my other tanks water in a bucket, then directly into main tank if they were to live at all. Surprisingly enough, everything did. I didn't think the two peppermint shrimp would make it, but they're alive and kicking.
I left the live rock and sand out of the water for about 2 months now, everything in it has completely died and its chalk white. I'm adding it back to my established tank to document how long it takes for it to completely re-seed with life again, so this should be an interesting thread. I'll try and take pictures week by week.
Stay tuned :grinyes:
