I have heard lots of good things about TBS, but I think it will depend on what you want out of your live rock.

If you want live rock that you can just put in your tank and cover it with new corals...

Wow, Always thought Chaeto was more of a free-floatin kinda guy.

At least they are easier to keep than SPS! A lot easier to be a pro algae keeper, I imagine.

Do the macros cause trouble when they show up in your main tank?

Could be, I dunno.

It looks like it sprouted from some of the larger algae that you can see growing on the left hand side of the picture.

That stuff is quite coarse (as in thick) and smooth,...

Can you ID this?

Hi there,

I got the rock for my tank about a week ago, and there has been a bit of algae popping up. Still waiting for my snails to take it down in some parts...

Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about the bristleworms either.
They are more indicative of the nutrient levels in the tank. If they have less food, they will decrease in number.

Varied diets are always better for your fish.
