How can I tell if the LFS sold me DEAD Live Rock?
 

Just a quick update. I have now found worms ... long worms with protruding
"feathers" down it's side in even clumps, and also .. "fleas" .. they look
like fleas on a dog, but have long "feelers" on it's head.
ps: this is through a cheap magnifying glass by the way ... not with
the naked eye.
I'm going to search the wonderful net now and see if I can find a pic of the
worm

The worm is a bristle worm. The "flea" is an amphipod.

...
Simply put ... this live rock looks like it's had it's day, but I can't
tell what to look for because this is the first rock I have ever
purchased? ... Can somebody tell me what to look for or give me an email
to send a couple of high quality pics of my rock to you?
