| Reef Shark   | Re: Noob Question: Live Rock v Dead Yes, to a point, dead rock will indeed become live rock, presuming that it is porus calcareous rock. Many people use dead rock from Hirocks.com as a base, and cover it with nice live rock. In time, it covers with coralline, and gets a nice bacterial colony living in/on it, and it's difficult to tell from the "real thing"...the "neat little critters" probably won't appear, unless YOU put them there, as the spores for many of those are imbedded into the rock from the ocean, but as things spread, they will cover the dead rock as well.
