    I was thumbing through craigslist for somw rock, and found a guy selling 200lbs of Live Rock for $75.00!!! Oh, I just had to call that one, and it was all legit. He has a 300 gal he was selling off. Sill up and running. All good Fiji rock with feather dusters, a little coraline, and did I mention seventy five bucks!
    He kept sharks and sting rays in there. I transported them in my water change trash cans. Here is a few pics:

    Honestly I felt bad getting so much for so cheap, but he was a really nice guy that just didn't have the time anymore. What a SCORE!

    You always hear those rumor/stories about a guy that got something real expensive for real cheap cuz he was in the right place at the right time. Like a divorce, or just didn't care. Well, I finally became "that guy" Whoo-hoo!

    I wanted to closely inspect them before introducing them into the tank, so i have them in a can with salt water/heater/Korilla3 for now. The guy told me there were a lot of bristle worms in them. But OMG there are so many. I have been picking them out all day. I filled a 5 gal bucket with FW and picking them out.
    I'm lucky as the small aptasia's that is on them was eaten by my Peppermint shrimps, but now I'll have to see if my coral banded eats the worms as I have read. I don't have a six line at the moment. I'll keep you posted and for sure when my tank is re-aquascaped, pics are sure to follow.
