i have two stories....i usually go to the hole in the wall in ny, i'm talking crappy...aitipasia in all the tanks, dirty, no lighting etc...
i saw this zoo covered rock in one of the tanks...large brown zoas, but low and behold on the backside are blue's with brown skirt...i noticed only about two or three open, so they looked like the brown zoas..asked price $30.00 for about a 6x6 rock...took it home in about two days i had about 40 deep blue polyps and the brown zoas have turned pink with olive green mouth and white speckles...next story.. i went to this lfs that just started selling saltwater and their staff doesn't know anything...so i saw a pink/reddish ric...asked the cost he said"well the mushrooms usually go for 20.00" i said the mushroom looks a little stressed how about 15.00...OK...pin/red ric for $15.00

forgot this one....same crappy lfs...saw a rock full of orange rics about 7 but most of them had two or three mouths...went to the manager,"on your website it states mushrooms are 25.00" yes well i like the one in the tank, sent one of his crew to bag it and went home with a nice rock of orange rics...

There's a LFS here that is trying to sell a plain ordinary maroon and blue crocea that is about 4-5 inches long for $120 and a more colorful derasa about the same size for $90.
