    One rock has many....I could count maybe 20 arms reaching out at any given time on this one rock the size of a baseball.

    if you get a ten gallon and you can raise them bigger you might have a lucrative side business selling them.

    Never considered that at all. I was even amused when reading about folks actually raising them to maturity. Hmmmm, I'm moving to a 55 in a few months....I can take just "that" rock and start a farm fo'sure...might be a trip.
    I'll chew on it awhile.
    Thanx sostoudt.
