I'm unsure where you're located but have you looked at Tampa Bay Saltwater? I think their username is @LiverockRocks ...I've heard nothing but good things about them. As far as Tonga branch goes, from my understanding it hasn't been imported for a very long time and since you're specifically looking for live rock, although you may find someone very rarely with a mature tank offering a few pieces for sale, I'd say go with Tampa Bay Saltwater since their rock comes right out of the Gulf of Mexico. That will give you more biodiversity than you'll get on any other rock unless it's actually from the ocean as well.Looking again if anyone has any.
Have you looked into different types of rock they have to offer? I mean I'm not any kind of advertisement for them and haven't actually ordered from them as I'm on the other side of the world and get Indonesian live rock myself but aside from a few small crabs and bristle worms, that's the worst I've ever experienced from wild rock. Personally I'm not a big fan of what they call "premium" rock and feel like you might get a good bit more hitchhikers from the premium. I like what looks more similar to the stuff i get over here which is just primarily coralline covering the rock...cheaper and personally probably fewer pests. Of course that's completely your call. They offer that too.Yeah, I'm familiar with them. They've been around a long time. It's a two edged sword... You can get as many pests as you do beneficial critters. Not worth it to me. It's also very expensive.
