New rock part 1 (lots of pics)

So, I received my part 1 for my 125 gallon tank. Shipping went well, the boxes were packaged wonderfully. The rock was incredible. At least 2 of the rocks were over 12 inches long. They were covered in living things of all sorts. Within a couple hours of being in my tank, feather dusters were out, tons of barnacles were sweeping the water (very cool looking), snails were emerging, anemones opened, heard lots of click-clicking from mantis shrimp, you get the idea.

This rock was everything I hoped for and so much more.

So far I've seen species of (though I'm sure I'm missing lots of things) – crabs (gorilla, some red type, porcelain), mantis shrimp, lots of snails, limpet, octopus (yes, octopus), serpent star, coral, lots of copepods, anemone, bristle worm, lots of other worms, feather duster, barnacle, sponge, gorgonian, tunicate, and red macro algae.

Now I have to post pictures, of course

The boxes and packaging:
