I've alerted Billy Bob and Bubba at the border. ;-)

One of our local aquarium shops here gets his from the west coast
area somewhere just north of Tampa. He says for some reason they
get better living rock from that area. He said that it was getting
harder to find quality stock though. I had always wanted to have a
nice saltwater aquarium. He is the reason that I don't have one now
and never will. Folks just dont' give a damn that what they do to make
a few bucks is killing our planet. Not that my little stand will make any
difference, I think the human race has bred itself into extinction, we
just don't know it yet.
