Carribean live rock is also known as Haiti live rock. This rock is very light and very porous if it is truely Carribean rock. You have to be careful because some places sell Florida aquacultured live rock as Carribean/Haiti live rock. This rock is very fragile and breaks very easily. It is a wonderful rock to use if you can receive it without it coming to you in pieces.

This is what true Haiti/Carribean Live Rock looks like

The other rock that is typically sold is aquacultured in Florida. You can tell the difference just by the look. The aquacultured is bulky and more "boulder" type where the Carribean/Haiti rock is plated and very pourous. Almost all of the vendors in Florida selling Carribean rock are selling aquacultured rock.
I suggest when you find a place you want to buy from ask them for pictures of the actual rock they will send you. Most stores will not have a problem doing this.
