live rock

I'm curious as to what critters hitchhiked along with your live rock or what you found on the rock? <img src="graemlins//bah.gif" border="0" alt="[bah]" /> And, I'd love to see pics of all your tanks if you can post them to give me an idea on how to aquascape. <img src="graemlins//eek.gif" border="0" alt="[eek]" />

oh man, i could take up alot of space, listing everything, but we got
a couple of snails, and mysid shrimp , and feather dusters, and q tip sponges, polyps, (i think) a mushroom(it is just startin), aiptasia(gonna kill that stuff), pnut worms, fisre worms(other bristles tooo), spagetti worms, sargassum, bubble algae, grape calupera, halimeda, different pods, foriminiferan, clabs, rock crabs(got rid of them too)some type of nudibranch(i tink, it was a black worm or slug looking thing with a bright neon blue head), coraline, and some other macro algaes,and some mini stars
and every day, is a new adventure sometimes trying to see if there is something new or not, you just never know

try here, they have good prices on fiji, i can;t remember if your tank is up and cycled yet, with fish, if so and you do MO, make sure to cure it good before adding it to the tank; if the tank is not, you can use that to cycle with, but do not add uncured lr directly into an existing aquarium, and MO'ed rock will still have some die off, which very well may cause an ammonia spike if not cured(again) before adding ot your tank
not all this stuff showed up right away, in fact, we had some coraline which we lost alot of(but taht was it at first), it did take a couple of months before we found alot of stuff, and as i said, we keep on finding, but alot of lr is like that

I got some worms of some kind, some crabs and a small starfish so far that came out of the rock that I bought from here.

The most interesting thing I picked up with the LR is a pistol shrimp.
Darn thing was clicking and poping all the time driving me crazy thinking something was wrong with the tank.
Turns out it was just a pistol shrimp.
