Purchased a liverock online, Seems like they've used cement to join 2pc together to get a unique shape. I'm totally fine with that as I'm planning to cover that area with some crushed rocks. But What it really bothers me is the disgusting surface of the rock. Is it normal for live rocks to have such a surface or something is wrong with the rock? Never seen something like this at LFS or online...
the rock doesn't smell nasty at all, kinda smell pretty good like a fresh sea urchin. The shop told me it's done with curing but should I do my own curing?

I've pricked out a part of them with Screw driver and It seems like it's a part of the live rock, not something external

It's a perfectly lovely bit of rock. Not keen on the seam, but the overall texture is good. The more surface area the better. The more dips and ups and downs and holes the better.
