I must say, I have bought live rock before, locally, and it was neat, but.....
I just received the shipment from liverocks.com and..... HOLY SHRIMP!!!!
8O 8O 8O
There were so many crabs all over the place, I could not believe it. I could hardly find a spot to grab the rocks because of all the stuff growing all over it. I had to be careful not to crunch a crab because they were scuttling all over.
I had to carefully rinse the rock-paper in the water because of all the crabs clinging all over every piece of it.
I saw at least 5 different kinds of crabs in this 35 pound lot of rocks.
The "problem" is, It's hard to know which way to orient the rocks... you set one down and go oh no, I just set it on a colony of rock anemones. You flip it over and go wow, but on the other side there's a colony of corals. Theres so much cool stuff growing all over it you feel bad for not being able to see the bottom side.
In the 1 hour that I have been working with this rock (I just got it about an hour ago) I have seen:
starfish
shrimp
crabs
sponges
barnacles
anemones
corals
sea slugs
clams
worms
feather duster worms
tree worms
weird tentacles coming out
And a whole bunch of creatures that I just don't even know what the heck they are yet.
This is the coolest rock I have ever seen. I had to get a beer to calm down.
There was 1 mantis that I saw, I got him, he is in QT, I named him "peep"
