Oh cmon Guys......thats the first rule of reef keeping isnt it??? DONT TOUCH THE ROCK WORK!.....Its a scientific fact that when skin touches LR a chemical reaction occurs that changes the molecular structure of the rock, making it impossible to put back the way it was

Yup, just thought I'd reiterate it for the new people, who, like me, will disregard anyway and knock everything over.
I wasn't even touching rock, just moving an unmounted colony. And now I have to touch it again to fix it, since it shifted 2 inches and may fall over anytime now...

This fact has caused me literally hours of expletive spewing rage.

I reached in to right a clam last night and a colony fell off the rock (apparently it wasn't attached very well). I'm tempted to just take the colony to the LFS, theres no way I'll get it reattached without causing some sort of issue
