When buying Live rock how does one know if its alive or dead? What do you look for? This is in regards to live rock that is being purchased second hand.
 
Make sure it was in water.Smell it to see if it has a foul smell,then you will know if it is dead.In the dark using a torch,check for any gogas running around.
 
if rock gets sent from let say Joburg to durbs it will need to be cured as all the living creatures will have died unless the rock is couried down in water, is this correct?
As long as the rock is moist,it will be fine.Does not have to be submerged in water :)
