tampa bay is great, i got my rock from there, BUT there is one big BUT!! Its straight outta the ocean. most places put LR on racks and keep them wet enough not to kill the bacteria, but dry enough that any critters attached to the rock die. Tampa bay ships gets em outta the ocean and ships em...

i think there are so many variables out there that its hard to nail down the cause of failure. maybe in a certain situation ocean water + some other variable = failure, so the aquarist equates ocean water to failure. if anything, its not even science at all. another thing to consider is that we...

i gots me a pretty lil trachyphillia a week ago. hes acclimated quite well and extends to a nice sized blob of flourescent pinkish reddish orangish. overall id say its health is just fine. the only thing is that at night it does not extend its feeding polyps. i was planning to feed it shrimp...
