It only cost me $80 and was in amazing condition. It just needed a good cleaning. which I did and then my friend dropped it while helping me carry in from outside after it had dried.

GAH! I have been looking on craigslist for the last 2 days and I haven't seen any under $150...

Yowza that sucks, hopefully you find another one for an even better price or condition, I hope it works out for you.

As a matter of fact you did steal it. Live rock is about $7 to $10 a pound. Just make sure you top off with freshwater to get your desired salinity before you go adding any saltwater. The water in the tank looks a little low

Yes I topped off with freshwater after it was all up. Salinity was quite high before that. Found an asterina starfish on the glass, first of many I read.

They won't hurt anything in a FO tank
