Okay Guys,
Here is the deal...
1. I bought a fish tank, along with some live rock in a bucket a year and a half ago at a garage sale.
2. Found out saltwater tanks cost too much, said Hell no. Put the buckets outside. After opening one up after about two weeks, I found out that one had green algae, so I stored them in the garage.
3. Year and half later, I wanted to get into saltwater again.
My question is... Is my rock safe to use in my fish tank? Pictures are below. The white rock with all the holes and the small brain looking rock next to it is the bucket that had all that green algae (which is what I am assuming is the black streaks on the bucket).
First Bucket... (6 lbs of rock) [/SIZE]

The black line is what separated the rock that was from the inside and the tip of the rock that was outside of the water.

Red Spots on the brain looking rock. What could it be?
