biggest risks in getting handpicked tonga?

[stash98]

i am really thinking about getting 15 pounds of the kaelini rock and filling up my 7 gallon minibow with it. Was wondering if the handpicked, cured rock will be free of the parasites and worms some people talk of..i could go buy the TBS stuff, it is an hour away, but I REALLY don't want to deal with mantis and guerillas..etc.....

I am very interested in the tonga, and just wonder if i can get more info on potential bad critters. Is fiji safer to get?

i got thirty pounds of the tonga from the doc and could not be happier....i liked it better than my tbs....nothing bad to say about them or the corals....

Fiji or Tonga rock do not have any pest critters. The hand-picked rock is not fully cured.

ok, it is partially cured then i guess. I am deciding between ordering the Kaelini Tonga or that aquacultured rock. Leaning towards the Tonga though. I love the colors on that aquacultured too. I'm definiltey getting some rock though quite soon.

The Tonga rock has the best shapes.
