Yeah it makes it really hard to keep up to date with everything when you have to order things in, we used to have a local couple running things from there house which was good but they stopped so now i have to stock up. I plan on doing a order next week as i want a little skimmer for my 36 bow front that ill be using as a qt till i get this tank more stocked with fish.

Even if they are the "bad" ones, the chance of them having high levels of Palytoxin is low, though I feel a moral obligation to warn people when I see them. Especially in such vast numbers.
My wifes favorites are all the softys ha so im trying more so to fill in the left side that's more bare, I'm some what careful when working around polyps as when i got into the hobby i read that article about the guy,his wife and the dogs getting sick from boiling the rocks. I've never gotten sick when accidentally taking a swig of water or from getting water on my cuts in my hand( My hand pretty much always have cuts and scabs on them from my other hobbies) so I've always just assumed that there safe ha.
