CaribSea Exotica Fire Stone

Fiery, porous stone built for planted scapes. CaribSea Exotica Fire Stone is part of CaribSea's Exotica freshwater rock line, a collection of dramatically styled, all-natural stones chosen from around the world for planted tanks, cichlid setups, and biotope aquascapes. Its warm red and earthy tones and random pitting give it real character, and its porous, textured surface is ideal for attaching mosses and epiphytes. It is inert and pH-neutral, with no paints, dyes, or coatings, so it is completely safe for fish, shrimp, snails, and live plants. Sold by the pound to hand-pick your scape, or by the 25 lb box for larger projects. Round it out with live plants and more hardscape.
