I noticed Petsmart now sells Reef Rock as a decoration for salt water aquariums. I was wondering if this is hermie safe. I'm assuming it is because it kind of looks like coral, but wanted to double check.
I tried to search it on the forums, but its very hard to do from my phone that I am currently using.

Re: Reef Rock?
I personally don't know for sure, but it would depend on the composition of the rock too.

Re: Reef Rock?
From the description at the link, it is apparently fossilized coral. Being that it's made by CaribSea, I may give it a try.

Re: Reef Rock?
We have had these in our tanks for 12+ years. I would say go for it. Do not be surprised or concerned if the hermies munch on it, which chances are they will.
