We have started a ID threat called Hitchhiker Identifications in the New Hobbyist forum. If anyone has some good hitchhiker pictures and wouldn't mind us using them, please post them here. If you want to do a writeup to go along with the picture that would be great too but not necessary.
I'm really in need of a spaghetti worm picture if anyone has one!!

Pyramid snails...Bad, parasite on turbos and mexican snails. And I'm not sure if these are the same pyramid parasite that (coral) clams get. :notsure:

hydroid jellyfish...Not good, but not really to worry about either. They sting your fish, but I doubt you'd be able to tell when...

Stomatella (varia) snail...beneficial algae grazer. Your more likely to spot him at night.

Hey thanks guys and girls this is great, I'm learning something, but do you think you could add if the hitchhikers are good or bad. I'm still new to SW so I don't know what is good or bad. Just a suggestion for us newbies.
thanks keep up the good work.
