Those are so funny!! I wish we would all just take some LFS pics that show the other side of the industry. Typically you only see pics of rare stuff that an lfs just got into the store (usually taken by someone that is on good terms with the store). Obviously it still looks good 12hrs after unboxing. But it's too funny to see pics of aptaisia and bubble algae covering a frag plug that is still in a "for sale" tank, with a price. Don't get me wrong we have several very reputable retail vendors to choose from, but not one of them is perfect. Its refreshing to see a few pics of an lfs at it's worst.

For the record, as a private individual I have aptaisia, and bubble algae on sale right now. Its cheap come and get you some. Oh yeah I have a special sale on little green rock nems. Buy 2 and get the 3rd one free. Cant beat it, they will fill your tank with color in short order if you feed them properly and watch your parameters!!
