Does anyone know what the bases (as in the rock type structure) are made of that come with maricultured colonies?

I've had a piece of one from frag night and ones attached to colonies and they seem to be some sort of resin instead of the concrete ones of old.

Crikey, what a question! You'll likely be the best judge Tim.

Alphagrog, cement, ceramics, just about anything is used for bases. I attach frags to milliput discs.

yeh sme are resin. they sometimes set a bottle lid in them to screw onto a bottle when set, in a horizontal postion

sorry i dont know which they use but any local plastics fabricator should be able to help.

at a guess id say its polyurethane in a 2 part mix. ive used this in the past to make venturi's and its safe. fantastic stuff , goes off in mins
