Anyone know what this one is? A piece of it broke off and I'm wondering if it would be suitable for my pico.
Hard or soft? If it's an SPS it's likely an Anacropora.

I think they treat during shipping. I've noticed the bags come in typically with blue tinted water due to copper I assume.
though I see them acclimate and dump right into tank so I would think all their inverts would be dead no? I have no idea. it just what I was told. I never dump anyone else's water in my tank.

Yeah. I'm trying to avoid shipping - extra cost plus living in the middle of an oven and all that. When it's safe to ship to me it's freezing cyclones in the rest of the world.
ask Petco if they can order. they will send it to the store if they can get it and you won't get hit with shipping costs. there are so many other things that they can order that you don't know about.

Maybe. I bought a bag of 5 German Blue Rams several years ago and the bag was full of blue water when I opened it. It could be freshwater only?

Oh I know. I've got a good relationship with the manager at two of the closest Petcos. Both have placed orders for me but neither was able to get what I asked for. 😂

I'm pretty sure its a leather of some sort as it came in the most recent order I placed. Maybe Aus Sinularia?
Looks like a good possibility.

How are you feeling today?
Good, real good. I'm getting tired of the weird little problems with some foods but I don't feel any of the aches and pains that doc warned me I'd feel.

I'm supposed to be getting my new light today so a little anxious.

I was thinking an upset sinularia at first and since it has a rubberband holding on the rock.
