Live Rock
I am thinking about buying some thive rock from J&L. Kanai, Fiji, and Dep Water Tonga is what they have. I read on another post that Kanai is stinky stuff and has no hitchikers other than Bristol Worms. I have ruled this out because i would like to get some rock with hitchikers. Now i know Fiji will come with Hitchhikers so no wroory there. Now my question is should i spend my enitre live rock spending money on Fiji or should i get Tonga as well. Another question has anybody got Tonga rock from J&L? If so what was it like?

I got 140 lbs of Kanai from J&L, and there are lots of hitchhikers on it. I have tons of feather dusters of different varieties, at least one peanut worm and sone other unknown type of worm. I have seen pods and one bristle worm too. There is one hitchhiker that I have yet to figure out, it is some sort of polyp, the best guess at this point seems to be some sort of fungia. I also have some macro algaes growing on it. So far nothing that is confirmed as bad. I would like to get some more rock, but I may go with some fiji just to get some more variety, both rock and hitchhikers.

I've seen some in person, it has good coverage and variety. I'd prefer someone else cure it for me, but I don't like rogue crabs. Oh, and it didn't have too many bristle worms...

In another thread I suggested searching for "Kanai" - here, I've done it for you: http://canreef.com/phpBB2/search.php...83e9c4579c9255

Okay thanks I think i will do some reaserch on what comes on different types of Live rock. Based on what area my tank will be based on will depend on the type of rock to buy.

I thought it was from Indonesia but you can't argue with the Tonga Times. I can't remember what mine came wrapped in but it must have been the same (also direct from the Pacific without being unpacked by J&L).

For those who have gotten the Kanaii rock, how was it for unwanted hitchikers? I am ready for live rock soon in my new tank. I am wondering about mantis shrimp, flatworms, and also those crustaceans that latch onto fish and bite them, I forgot what they are called. Oh yeah isopods.
