Featherduster?

[yunabug]

This is so cool, whatever it is!
I honestly don't expect it to survive, since my tank was just set up yesterday. But I was just suprised to find it!

It looks kinda like a baby featherduster? Maybe?
And if it is, it probably won't survive, right?

Yup, that's a feather duster and yes they will survive. That's about as big as it will get.

just wait and see

 

[yunabug]

OMG! This is exciting!
For real it will survive? This was the first full day of the cycle. And I have to do a little adjusting with my salinity.
I would be thrilled it it survived though! It's so cute, and my first hitch hiker!

 

[cranberry]

Oh, your cycling... it could survive as long as your parameters don't go to toxic levels. But lots survive as hitchhikers.

 

[yunabug]

It would be great if he survived ^^ But I don't think he will. The picture is kinda decieving. Full length including the crown, he's only about slightly larger than my pinky nail.

 

[cranberry]

Ya, they are small. The one you see in my pic is the same type and made it through a cycle.
It's the big fanworms that have poor outcomes, not the small little hitchhikers like you and I have. They have endured a lot of abuse so far to make it alive in your tank.

My pep devoured all of mine. :-(

 

[yunabug]

Ya. Mine has been through alot XD The rock was out of water, wrapped up in wet newspaper for about 2 hours.
But he's a little trooper XD I have faith in him!
*feels like a dork for liking him so much*

My copperband went straight to a little feather duster and tore it apart when I put him in the DT.
