The Good

Very diverse-sponges tunicates, feather worms, pods, brittle stars...etc.
Good Price and customer service

The Bad

TOO diverse- Bivalves, flatworms, mantis's, isopods, aptasia, and some sort of predatory snail(looks like a black and white striped nassa snail). Bryopsis and this goddamn red macro algae that i cant ger rid of.

Overall

Pretty good rock that i am happy with. just make sure you look over each piece very carefully before placing it in the tank

My suggestions

Remove ALL rock-like bivalves as one of them dying caused my tank to crash early in its life. Get rid of ALL bits of bryopsis or unwanted Macro as it is a pain in the a$$ to remove once it is establish. keep a peppermint shrimp in the tank. watch the tank closely especially at night for isopods, small mantiss, and those predatory snails.

Good luck
