All LR in tank.

The Kanai live rock finally shipped from J & L. Luckily my father in law was coming for the day so he picked it up and brought it out saving me a trip. This LR was definately direct from the ocean or something. A few days in a seperate container with powerheads and skimmer and it was ready to go in the tank.

looks like you got some really great big rock! That looks just great, can't wait to see what it turns in to!

Unfortunately I had a pretty large crab hitchiker, saw various body parts floating around after using the baster to blast loose some material. He must have been in a nice crevice since I did not notice him at all even during all the water dips and transfers back and forth between containers. I'm pretty sure he was already dead by the time I got the rock.

Other than that it looks like I have a few sponges making a come back already, too early to tell though. I definately have some green zoanthus but they are in a spot difficult to photograph. Haven't noticed anything else obvious yet.

I will bet you find a lot more than just one crab. Besides numerous other organisms I have posted about in the past while, I am now seeing numerous small clams and HORDES of 5-15mm snails on my Kanai rock.
