I've had to remove a GBTA from a rock once that never did let go. I tried hanging it upside down, massaging the base, pointing a powerhead at it, prying at the base with a credit card, leaving it un-submerged and even rubbing it with ice cubes. In the end I had to smash the rock and remove it with the fragments still attached to its foot. Anyone keeping anemones in a tank for sale should know to only have small rock rubble with them or should be prepared to grab a hammer and a chisel.

BUT remember... this guy is VERY "EXPERIENCED" (in selling his customers huge chunks of rocks at $11/pound). He says he does not, and I quote.."rape his customers" but he sure tried to bend me over.

I think "the bald guys" prices are low because he has no service skills at all. Something has to draw people in.


I am gonna name drop.... his name is Shawn. I don't care. He was really insulting. Insinuating I do not treat my tanks well. In most cases I would have lost my temper.... but instead.... I have CANREEF to vent!!!

Thanks guys and gals for reading.

There is a saying.....

"You get good service you tell one person. You get bad service, you tell everyone."


I kind of wish nobody posted the store name.... it is free advertising for him in any way.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
