Saw this in the Live rock bin at a LFS. I think it had just been put there. Bought it at $5/Kg (it weighed 200g but somehow 0.2Kg @ $5/Kg = $2. I'm not going to argue over a dollar.

Worth a shot. It has a bit of die off on 1 end, but it's a good 15cm's + in length so I can hide that end under the aquascape somehow.

It didn't smell off or anything so why not. Anyway (ignore the green sandbed)

Which green bit are we looking at?



Seriously though, looks awesome!

well done . Looks good now!

It looks like a fungia . . If it is, those things are virtually bullet proof.
I've had one for about 4 years and at one stage due to tank problems it had the vital signs of a hockey puck. It bounced back and is going great now.

What a great score!

When the tentacles come out shoot a picture for a positive ID. I think it's a Polyphillia talpina. It has the wrong skeleton to be a Herpolitha limax.

what shop sells live rock for $5?

Fish World in Dandenong.

P.S. Live Rock = Base rock IMO

Still going strong, but no polyp extension yet.

I think something else is going on in the tank - 1/2 the softies aren't really inflating. Water Parameters are still pretty spot on and consistent but I have noticed little nibble marks all over the corals and a couple of Xenia colonies have been decimated. Just trying to catch the guilty party.

If it does start some extension I'll let you know.
