Question about live rock!

no, your best bet is to buy from a responsible company. Plus i believe that is illegal in the U.S.
i dont mean taking corals.. i know its illegal to take corals but i mean rocks..but yeah i know the best bet would be buying some from a store but i was just wondering
i believe the rule applie to live rock, which generaly is reef byproducts (dead corals) plus, you could easily get a rock which could destroy your perimeters.
All previous posts are 100% accurate, it is very illegal in the U.S. and the Marine Patrol here in Florida is always on the look out for that. If you were to be unlucky and get caught, the fines are stiff.
Check out garf.org, they have some good articles about making your own live rock. I have been considering setting up a spare 10 gallon tank to try this out myself.
