Well I went out and got about 30LBs of LR today and I get home put it in my tank and I see something moving around inside a big piece of rock with alot of pores. Well I keep looking at it thinking its a crab/mantis/shrimp something then I see purple/pink and green so after the lights went out tonight I watched the rock a while longer and then it came out OMFG its a freaking Lunare Wrasse about 2 inches long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just wanted to share my crazy hitch hiker if anyone else has a similar story I want to hear it!!!!
p.s. this fish was out of water for at least 30-45 Min and he appears to be fine but tomorrow will tell...

I know but,
A) Can a fish live out of water that long?
B) I did not acclimate him (obviously)
C) Will he fight with my Red Coris Wrasse?
If he is still alive tomorrow and out in plain sight I will try to get a picture of him. This is still shocking to me...
