HBtank - you are entitled to your opinion, Aquacultured rock isn't for everybody, but a majority of TBS customers think that the diversity and beauty of the product is worth the risk.

Personally, i only had about 10-12 bad hitchikers - I also had 6-8 (breeding) porcelain crabs - not only do those cost $$ at the LFS, but the ones that came in on my rock were better looking than anything i've seen for sale elsewhere.

But please remember, you do stand a chance of getting the same and even worse hitchikers on any rock, they are just more likely to die either in transit or in the first few weeks in your tank because of distance and shipping practices used. BUT just as much good, desirable stuff is going to die as bad stuff.
