Hitchhikers Galore
When I got my anemone today, there was no way to get it off the rock, so the rock came home as well. I have a plethera of hitchhikers. At least two brittle stars (black with fine orange stripes). Very cool looking but are they going to be an issue with my fish?
Also one large bristle worm. At least 8" long and bigger around than a pencil. I am working on getting him out! Smaller would be OK but this one is a frightening.

Cool! Just to be safe though, if I can catch the larger one, I am moving it to the tank with larger clowns.

To add to the list of hitch hikers, I also got astreas, a porcelain anemone crab, button polyps, aptasia, and a second BTA. Glad I had a spare tank to put this thing in for now.

Congratulations on all of the cool hitchhikers Eric. Sorry about the not so cool ones. How big of a piece of rock was this to come with that much stuff on it? Does this mean a new carpet is not in the plans now? |

No carpet in the future now.

That was a lot of hitchhikers for a rock that size. It should have helped make it more worth the money that way.   |
