    You do not want that rock, it's covered in pest anemones called Majano and the Brown Palys become invasive as well. It has one nice coral, what looks like a Ricorda but the rest of the corals are too invasive and the Majano will spread fast is given the right amount of food. I would take the rock back and the will solve all the problems. Put the rock in a bucket of saltwater and return it or wrap it in news paper.

    I made the same error many a times when I was a newer hobbyist. In my mind all corals were cool, but some are not trust me.

    Hmmm no store credit, or another rock.

    Unfortunately some/a few local fish stores give bad advise and sell items that are not in you or your tanks best interest. Best to shop/browse and then consult the forum and then buy. Your better off with the two corals you took out than the rock in my opinion. I guess you're going to have to stick it in the 29 gallon, I doubt any of the corals will die off, the Ricordia vs Yuma might unfortunately but a cycle usually does not kill Palys or Majano unfortunately.

    Don't feel bad it happens, and it's happened to me.

    It has happened to me as well. Hence my 2 cents. An LFS near me had some bad advice which I took, pre-3Reef, and I have never darkened their doorway since. Actually just fixed a problem today that LFS gave me.
