It says right on the post, to check around THIS SITE for 3/4$ lb LR.
not at any LFS.

Why buy from a LFS when you can get better rock cheaper here.

I sell LR for 3.50/lb often.


I hate to say it guys, but it sounds like a rip off paying around 100$ for a mantis.

I bought mine for under 40 from Big Als...though now its island pets...at the time, JL had some for 90,but they never sold until deeply discounted.

Again, the difference as explained to me by staff was that when you specifically order in a mantis, they cost the LFS more so they charge more.

Usually though, with all the LR imported by a LFS, they get the odd hitchhiker...these gor for 20-40$ IME.

That's good to know, as anytime I have checked with places, they're $40 at least for a small one. But Oceans didn't have one last time I checked.

Thanks.
