Where to find LR in town
Anyone have suggestions on where to pick up live rock in Atlanta? Took a look at Cap Bay and they have many different grades of LR but it all looked like base rock with very little coraline algae to me.

Last weekend Imagine Ocean in Canton had a nice selection of rock. However, they don't always have rock in stock, so I'd recommend calling first before heading up there...

If you are willing to make another hour drive on I-20, he is selling a bunch for $3/lb

It's too far and I think he only had large pieces. I'm looking for smaller pieces to fit my 30 gal.

I wouldnt worry too much about a lack of Coraline, time fixes that plus you may get a lot of die off during cycle anyway.
The prices on live rock here are criminal, I would look for a reefer selling some. When I moved down here from Philadelphia I got sticker shock, I was used to $3.79/lb.
Worry more about shapes and sizes then growth on it. The LR in my nano had zero coraline on it when I got it, some B Ionic fixed that in no time.
