I have a story about when my father in law was first getting into the hobby. He was at a now closed LFS in the city i live near. He was ready to add live rock to his tank. This lfs sells him the rock for like $18/lb because all the rock was covered in this beautiful "glass coral" He get home with his rock gets it into his tank with all his other rock. Phones me to come check out this awesome rock with tons of "glass coral" on it. Im thinking "uh oh" so i go over there. Well he just bought like 20lbs of rock COVERED in aiptasia. I made him remove all the rock and take it back to the store. I accompanied him back to the store and gave them a little piece of my mind on selling aiptasia covered rocks to unsuspecting newbs as "beautiful" corals for $18/lb
