This week I received my first ever 20lb shipment of KP Aquatics starter rock. It was shipped overnight to my door UPS and I am amazed at the amount of life on this rock. It far exceeded my expectations!
I wanted to post a few photos for anyone wondering what you might get since I spent hours searching forum posts for KP starter rock.
In addition to the various algae and sponges, I found a few brittle stars of which only one has survived. The others were crushed in the bottom of the bag. A pistol shrimp who is missing his pistol claw. A pencil urchin, bristleworms, a few unidentified snails and an unidentified crab which scurried into a hole as soon as I tried to get it off. It’s in the pics attached.
This is for a new 75g build of which I’ll post a detailed build thread soon. Therefore I just put it into the empty display to cycle, observe and prune off anything that is decaying or dead.
