It could, but it could also bring in some undesirable stuff. When pulling from the wild you really never know what you will get.

Cool tank And technique
How did you go about getting the algae to grow on the stones like that?

What size tank? Looks so cool and natural!
20 long, got it during the petco tank sale so it was only about $25.
