Mebbe you get a hitch-hiker in your LR,,,,like that Clown that tried to eat me up when i was there cleaning the "pools/vats" last week or so,,,come to think of it,,prob not, it was in a coral vat,,,
nasty lil bugger,,,,
let us know here what you think, and be sure to let Joy know of it also,,
i think she gets a ton or so at a time,,,so the rock does move out,

A friend of mine ordered 100 lbs of rock from them, and I was there for the grand opening of the box....

I was envious! They had shipped him some beautiful rock with tons of coraline, macro, pods, etc. So, you should be happy with your rock.

Thumbs up

Oh yeah, you'll be happy ! I see Joy on a fairly regular basis and she always has the best product I've seen. She sells nothing before it's COMPLETELY cured. Always lots of bonus critters on the rock. You may from time to time come across quality live rock at other places, but Harbor consistantly has the best.

All i can say is OH MY GOD!! That stuff is amazing. After the initial shock wore off of having 3/4" inch long shrimp squirming all over my hands after putting live rock in the tank, I started to gaze upon the 2 pieces of rock. There are numerous anenomes on them and a couple green button polyps. I got a couple big snails along with the live rock. Ithink they are the astrea variety and what looks like a baby conch. The rock has macroalgae growing on it (very cool)It is heavily encrusted with pink and purple coralline. Tons of fan worms and one pretty good sized feather duster. Looks like no die off, we will see in the next week though. I will take pictures of it tomorrow when hopefully more stuff emerges from the rock. But for 4.50 a pound I think it is the best rock I could of imagined. Harbor Aquatics rules!!

Instead of replying in the box at the bottom of the thread...click on the (post reply) button. Then in there, near the bottom you will see an attach image section, and a browse button.

Very happy to hear that you loved your rock!
