What comes out of live rock?

[mrsgoose]

I just set up my first SW tank in years... it's 29g and all I have in it so far is a bed of ls and about 22 lbs lr. I've gotten two snails and a tiny purple mini-anenome looking thing, possibly a featherduster, though. There is some purple coraline growth... a few wormy looking things, but what else might come out? It's premium fij rock that i brought cured from my lfs around the corner, which they'd had in their tanks about 6 months. Can I expect any new surprises? Thanks for any info...

I have found copepods, featherdusters and little snake-looking striped worms in mine.

definatly, keep your flow high and your calcium levels in the apropriate range and it will spread, I often have to clean it off my front glass.
