At my LFS, the live rock is all in these low laying, curing type tanks. Above on a shelf are all these frags such as feather dusters and stuff that the store has pulled from the live rock. They sell these small things seperate. Is it common practice to remove these cool things from lr and sell them seperate or is my lfs just trying to make an extra buck?
Is this common practice?

It seems to me they are trying to just make an extra buck... At my local guy that I grab all my saltwater rock/fish from, he leaves the rock alone, and leaves all the feather dusters and whatever else on the rock for whoever buys it.
I don't see any other reason why that store would pull that stuff off, unless they just wanted more money.

agree with camaro and sam, at the lfs I work at we pull live stuff of the rock if it is likely to be killed in the curing process, I would also venture a guess that like sam said it was just a display tank above the LR. LR tanks stink when curing and thats why they are often low to the ground away from peoples noses
They are not in display tanks, they are all in seperate like .25 gallon plastic holding containers sorta like those square plastic containers some lfs sell bettas in with each cube holding a single rock or frag. I also noted that the actual lr doesn't have any featherdusters or anything on them. With the exception of this one practice, the store has a great reputation around here. I just thought it odd
