What's the economical weight to stay around when purchasing a smaller amount of rock for the air shipping?

40lbs rock

We don't disturb large colonies of sponges/tunicates/corals....need them seeding the fields.

Lol I totally understand that. I do hope you know I was speaking in jest

Of course, no worries.

There are so many large and beautiful tunicate colonies on the newer planted rock that J often picks up a rock and puts it back. We are thinking about adding another category of live rock, expert level pieces, for those experienced with delicate/demanding organisms like tunicates and unique sponges.

That would be interesting. A lot of tunicates (though small) survived for a while from my KP rock. I’d love to see like a coral rock category thats like your WYSIYG section but focuses on the corals you can only get with aquacultured rock (or just a “Rose” Rock section for those that have Rose Coral in them lol)

This a cup coral?

J would consider that a young tube coral.

Love your rock. I got a small 8 lb treasure chest of premium rock to add to a nano I was setting up. One thing I noticed was tons of small tube worms/ fan worms.

Hey! I'll be getting my 45 gal red sea e170 in a week or two! I'll be placing an order soon!
Question, I'll have water at the ready. Should it be heated , or should I heat it along with the rock when added to the system?

Just received my mantis shrimp order. Thank you both so much for all you do and for my awesome order. I will be shopping again

The TBS farm has Rubies!

Red Mithrax crabs are one of many diverse cleaners on the farm. These little rock scrapers keep our product in the field free from undesirable algae like hair and bubble.
Rubies are frequent hitchhikers, but we have extra, so they are now available for sale!
Find them in the Live Critter category on the website: TBS Rubies

WoooHoo, the farm is cooling down. Both Jocelyn and the corals are happy!
For a new tank, warm the water gradually after adding rock.

That is a cutie! Let me get J's eyes on it. Lots of shrimp out there, probably a peaceful sand dweller. If possible, email us more photos.
