So I ordered some real live rock from Live and Reef. It arrived on Friday as promised and thought you all might like to see it. It is definitely full of life. I found several micro brittle stars, bristle worms, couple unidentified snails, an orange frilly limpet, and some other things. I have found a couple aptaisa. There is an animal that is the size of my thumb that is leathery feeling, looks like rock that I think may be a sea squirt , it is visible in the last pic. The pictures are how it came out the box. Over all I’m very happy with it. It’s colorful, alive, and full of diverse bacteria.
