What sort of rock is this?

Found some at my lfs for 2.50 a lb. super porous and crumbles if pressed. Looks like it has a ton of surface are and is formed of a bunch of tiny cells. Would this be good rock yo bleach and use or should it be avoided?

If it crumbles when pressed it probably won't hold up to stacking so you might want to go with something else.  If you're looking for additional filtration, porous rock, well, rocks!  😁

It will take some load but yeah I wouldn’t stack a ton of weight on it. Just currious what it is and what it’s made of and will it leach
