    Ok, down a at LFS near where i work, not mine because we all thats {{FISHTALES}} with the great customer service, {{YOUR #1}}, anyways there is this piece of LR. On it is about 15 buttons in brown ( would be prefect on a tan blazer) and 5 of 6 large yellow polyps, a very small cluster of bubble coral and a small creature i dont know what the hell it is, but it could just die. This is a small piece of rock about 3x3 inches and its about 45$. None of these items really rock my boat but at my LFS {{FISHTALES}} on route 88 in Brick, NJ. HEY THEY DESERVE THE PIMPING!! DEAL WITH IT!! their display tank has yellows in it on the top shelf and it just looks really cool. Question is i really have no desire for any of them, maybe the yellows. Are there any pros or cons to have the buttons or the yellows that would make my weekly budget for coral worth bringing home this rock? Would it be worth just killing off the button and bubbles to hold the yellows? I KNOW KILLING IS BAD, they arent wide caught so i wont cry and there arent that many. This is the first i have seen them in the store not really sure of the going rate. Would it be difficult to move the buttons off the rock onto another? If not how, scrape them off and pen them under a net?

    the yellows are common enough that you will see many more up for sale and they spread fast enough to make it worth getting a small frag if you see one.i bet if you ask,they can get some real quick.

    A little uncertain what you are asking here.

    Zoanthids are a great addition to any tank. ---

    Easy to propagate once spreading. Some spread much faster then others.

    $45 for a 3 inch square of rock sounds very steep to me. :-/
