Ive also heard of spaghetti that is cooked and added for porosity, also cheato, to make shell imprints use the shell macaroni, caves can be made with a balloon or latex glove that is blown up and then popped after the concrete sets up. Ive also heard of making small tunnels with tube macaroni (the stuff you make into ziti) and bigger ones with paper towel tubes, which are made of paper and when the rock is curing get soft enough to remove. Heard of people doing all sorts of stuff to rock... you just have to take your pick and go with it.
