i know everyone says wait a month or so, and things will start springing up all over the place. all i have on my 25lbs are some burgandy colored crystals scattered here and there on most of the rocks. there are some patches of purple coloration on some of the rocks, and some turquoise colored patches. Some of the rock has plenty of holes in it. A few pieces have on it what looks to be dried blobs of white latex paint, though i'm sure that's not what it is - can anyone tell me what that might be? Only one critter sighting last week, small wormlike thingy, 3/4" long and 1/16 inch wide, black with some white markings. Maybe I just got a lousy batch of rock? I paid $170 shipped for it, and i'm not very happy. (no, i didn't buy it from swf).

I just put some LR in my tank the other day. I have already noticed a featherduster, puiple coraline (i think thats what it is at least...lol), some green sponge maybe. It is NEON green really cool and about the size of a quarter. It comes to a few sall points but is rather rounded off, also some smal dark orange hollow round thingys with hair-like stuff on the tips of them. There are about 30 or forty of them I would guess, all about the size of the end of a pen. I also see a pretty red sponge thing I think. It too is really rounded off. The green thing and red on almost look like what you'd think of the surface of the moon being like. I also just noticed something else. There is a opaque whitish bubble - or at least it looks like one. I feel like if I poked it it would ooze (kinda gross Iknow, but Im trying to paint a picture 
) All of this I found on 6lbs. I cant wait till tomorrow morning when I go buy 20 more lbs!!! So exciting!!!!!!!! He he! Does anyone have any idea what I might have on my LR. I wish i had a digital camera so I could show you. Maybe the photos I took will come out!!!

about a week ago when we had to move our lr to get rid of the CC we had as a bed and put just sand in, we picked up one rock and comeing out the bottem of it, going into the sand was what looked like a worm, about 4 to 6" long, and had CC stuck all over it, when we tryed to grad it with something, it broke in half, still dont know what it is, just weird looking, ill try and get a good pic of it if i can. also, we have some other stuff growing on the other rocks, looks like it COULD be aipstasia, but the funny thing is i put a peppermint shrimp in there and he is gone now lol dont see him anywhere, been almost a week now, and no sign of him lol, and they are still there, so he didnt eat them. very weird lol. here is the worm thing.....
