Living Rock Hitchhiker question

[Sean_B]

curious if there is a better time of the year to order "live Rock" to increase the chance of receiving beneficial hitchhikers?

Live rock from Tampa Bay Saltwater always seems to have great critters. Of course, you can order live critter packs from them as well.

I just got a rock and sand order from TBS. I got an octopus, whelks, mantis shrimp, 20+ gorilla crabs, lots of macro algae, feather dusters, brittle stars, bristle worms, sponges and a whole lot of stuff that I’m still unsure of. I spent hours upon hours for weeks watching the rock and crab hunting. Yesterday was the day that we moved our existing habitants from our 75 gallon to the 170 gallon where the TBS live rock and sand was/is.

Beneficial critters hike year-round.
Some harvests we see a lot of porcelain crabs, sometimes lots of zebra gobies, sometimes it's juvenile dwarf octopus, recent harvest was pistol shrimp.
