Alright so after a look around at the LFS, I have two options for local purchase. The place we got our original rock, which has all the bacteria and such but not much else, and a second place. This guy has BEAUTIFUL looking rock. Nice color, tons of mushroom corals growing all over the place, rock feels decently light compared to it's appearance, sponges growing on some pieces, and just looks gorgeous. BUT, he has a few aiptasia visible in the tank :( as well as a few spots of bubble algae. All for about $10/lb.
Is the rock worth the aiptasia coming with it? I'm sure even if I picked out the pieces that didn't SEEM to have any on it, that I would find them sooner or later.
