ok to add variations to HEIGHT of an ecosystem material off the underlying material...

go to DENSITY tab, offset from surface, click the lighting flash button to edit the function, I added a Fractal, perlin noise gradiant, made the Largest Feature very large so lot of variation.

I also, for outer layer went to the Colour function of the ecosystem, and gave it a colour in there so that ring set would be different.

Added the ecosystem to Planes (made transparent)

Note that you can of course DUPLICATE the planes thus having several in same part of space, rotate one slightly to off set it's rocks, you can thus get cool animation features of rocks with differing speeds, plus more thickness

Sorry for the crudity of the end product but just quickly done :)
