Where can I find small amounts of live rock straight from the ocean?

So far I've only found large amounts. I'm looking to get some rubble, basically. Nothing particularly big. I'm just hoping to get some interesting things on it, and I really only want smaller pieces. I'm talking like 5 lbs or so. Is there anywhere that sells that small an amount that you'd recommend?

You can check out their site, but I don't think Tampa Bay Saltwater has a minimum on their rock. It is good rock too.

I bought my live rock for my last two tanks from Saltwaterfish.com. I believe they sell in smaller quantities like 12lbs? You can always buy bigger pieces and just break them up too.

A quick glance at KP Aquatics' site shows their orders beginning at 10 pounds. Tampa Bay's rock is $5/lb, no minimum listed, but their "Package" begins at 10 gallons / 20#. (Call them or email, talk to them. I'd think they could get you what you need...)

Maybe you could split an order with a friend or three, as well . . .
