mini dusters!!! they're ALL OVER my LR!!! i've had my tank for 2 years, and about 4 or 5 months ago, i discovered this little duster. So i turned the piece of LR around so i could see it. Well, after looking really closely, i found another much smaller one... i kept looking, and BAM, i hit the motherload!!! I've identified at least 3 dozen mini dusters all over my LR, and i'm still finding them! I can see where their little white tubes have made their way out of the LR, so i guess they've just been living in the depths of my LR and have finally been able to make their ways out... i'm sooo thrilled! I just keep finding them everywhere!!! I hope they all get as big as the other one i found, cause he's gotten bigger too...
oh yeah, my LFS is selling this piece of LR (for $7.99/lb and it's 10 lbs), and it has a duster on it that is the size of a large softball! It was the biggest one i've ever seen!!! I wanted to buy it, but i think that $80 for a duster is a little extreme!

AND, i don't really need LR, actually i don't really have room for a piece that big... i guess a lot of people agree with me that it's not worth $80 cause it's been there for at least a month or two...

yeah, i only order mine online... you get really great deals, and who cares if it's uncured? it's not that difficult to cure it, IMO.

mine cost 6.57 a pound. My one rock is ~23lbs and I wasn't going to get it since it was such a large peice, but I'm glad I did. It has like 8 mini feather dusters on it so far. They've been multiplying ever since I got it. One of them is actually red as opposed to the others so I'm not sure how that happened.

my new leather coral had a bright red coco worm on the piece of rock that was attached to it. i just thought all of my hitchikers died due to the MAJOR spike in ammonia when i first cycled my tank...

I purchased my LR from saltwaterfish.com , 30 lbs of it, and I liked it. I did not want to pay the 7.99 a pound either!
