    Wow, how big is your tank and what kind of lights are you running. Oh and what do you feed. That doesn't even look like the same piece of rock.

    Thanks all! The 2 Yellow Polyps on there just got smoothered by the other 2 Corals, hahaha! I got a 40b, I use 1 250w 14k MH and the norm 4 T5 HO's, I put some MarineSnow in there like once every 2 weeks, everything in my tank had done fantastic except the past 2 weeks or so where my Blue Waving Hands, my other Petco rescue has really taken a beaten from warm water, I talked to a guy who claims he lost an entire tank cus it got to warm.

    here is a thought:

    If no one went in and "rescued" these corals, maybe they would stop buying them for inventory, and stop killing corals.

    I went to a petco in Florida when visiting my folks, spoke to the freshwater manager because they removed their saltwater section due to not selling much livestock. I then when later on my travels and visited a second petco, they had a saltwater section, it was doing awful and the worker there said they would probably be losing their saltwater section soon and expand the freshwater.

    Dowtish is dead on, if more people stopped buying the livestock then they would stop carrying it. No more dead fish and corals.
