Live rock? Anything I should remove?

jaxteller007 · Mar 30, 2018

Just got 10 pounds of live rock in. I have no idea what I'm looking at. See anything I need to remove before putting it in the tank with the fish?

Get a red light go look at it after the lights have been off for a couple of hours that will let you have a better idea what’s in your rock.

I havent seen any of that aiptasia or whatever is so that's good right? Anything in particular I'm looking for with the red light?

Could be either. Lets hope for the best. I already see tons of filter feeders.

Some dead stuff came off when I u wrapped it (little red crab). I've skimmed a few dead things out of the water so far. Not much though. Maybe they dead a good job prior to shipping.
