live rock advice

[scubasteve247]

i live in florida and love saltwater fish.

i have a eclipse 12 and want to go nano, i had it set up as a sucessful saltwater tank before, i had a blue chromis, hermit crab, three tide snails and a feather duster, i went and got my own live rock from a reef and feel like i already made a mistake, i didnt cure it so i have lots of lil stuff crawling around on it like a small spider crab, i belive its sea hare, or spanish dancer, you know the ones that secret a purple toxin when stressed. plus theres some small white things moving around, some kind of worm(looked like a white earthworm) and thats all that i see right now.

 

does anyone have any advice, should i remove it and cure it, or what. any advice in particular for a newbie

First off you should know it is illegal to take anything from a reef. Not only illegal but a felony so be careful and don't do it again.

 

Return the rocks from where you got them please and then go buy some cured rock from a store and you won't have any weird situations (or illegal) that could cause you a tank of problems forever.
