Dry Rock
There are two primary types of aquarium rock; wet and dry. Wet live rock comes out of the ocean, and ships to you wet. While it does have live bacteria and desirable things like coralline algae, because it comes out of the ocean it also can have anything on it including pests, algae and parasites. The other primary type of rock is dry rock. It's mostly just wet live rock that has been cleaned and allowed to dry before shipment, and is a really popular choice. Dry rock comes basically lifeless, but when you add it to water the beneficial bacteria populates on it own. You really couldn't stop it from populating a normal reef tank even if you wanted to!
