Ceres actually is more similar to an icy body. It has a very low density - 2.08 g/mL. Many Kuiper Belt Objects, including Pluto but many smaller ones as well, have a density of around 2 g/mL, while large rocky/metallic bodies have densities of 3+ g/mL.
Ceres' internal structure is thought to consist of an ice mantle over a rocky core, with a thin dusty surface crust, or some other configuration with similar proportions of those different substances. This is again the same kind of composition as ice worlds. That the surface of Ceres has very little ice is due to the fact that it is too close to the sun for surface ice to be stable.

And 1st Place is this big bad boy it has life and has a moon that also has life. Holy Bunches Diameter: 30998.57 km Mass: 9.9935 Planet "RS 0-8-3903000-1361-1-9-105079461-33 3.3" My name for the Planet "Oceanus Gigantis"
Whoo! I think that's the most massive rocky planet we've ever seen in SE. In fact, I think it might be in the fuzzy border zone between the mass limit that defines a rocky planet and an ice/gas giant.
Anyways, here's two massive worlds, an oceania and a desert.
In fact, I think it might be in the fuzzy border zone between the mass limit that defines a rocky planet and an ice/gas giant.
Rocky/icy worlds in SE can not be 10 Earth masses or greater, so that is near the maximum possible size. I'm not sure whether gas planets can be less than 10 Earth masses, but anyway the border is not so fuzzy.

And Right Across from that Oceania system is a giant Titan :| This is the last time I submit a planet :P Seriously if you guys just check this galaxy there is whole bunch of gigantic planets atleast 300000 km Planet: "RS 0-8-3903000-1361-1-8-13134965-25 7"
This is an eclipse bug, if you look you will see that either two suns are eclipsing each other or that a planet is eclipsing the sun very far away from this planet. Fast forward in time and it will end.
