Purchased a few pieces on Friday, my first corals in the tank. I dipped them hard in CoralRX and some stuff fell off including a worm of some kind. I don't know why but I kinda assumed someone in the business would be on top of that kind of thing.
Two days later, just below the pieces in the tank... hey, what the heck is that? It looked four inches long. I quickly moved the corals, pulled back some rockwork, grabbed my tweezers and pried him out.
Gotta say, I won't be going back. The place was filthy and if I hadn't driven two hours to get there I wouldn't have purchased anything. I thought I was going to a retail location, and the corals on the website looked great; turns out it was just in his garage. But it looked like he hadn't even thought of cleaning the tanks for the last five years... I'm also getting the sense I way overpaid. This is what I get for being a noob.
It's a site sponsor so I won't divulge more (unless you PM me). And he was a nice enough guy... but the difference between the website and the actual location was night and day.
