Oh, yes they did Denny.
I remember selling you this one, for a lot less than $20/lb. lol.
I'm just glad I got it back after a few years....
When I got this rock there was a few polyps on it.
It went around for a while, it was in some tough shape when I got it back.

I also remember when we would buy live rock from King Ed's Pets near my house for what seemed like an arm and a leg, but really was probably almost the same price as now (except now I buy it from fellow reefers and not retail). That rock would be covered with life and Irene & I would spend hours ooohing and aaaaahing over the polyps, featherdusters, pods, tiny starfish and baby corals that could be found on that rock.

Dude I love the lineage of that coral it was white when I got it from you and you had it in sump I managed to get it green but not that green lol

That's cool to see still alive and better yet in color most corals don't see that long in captivity
