so will this keep growing or will it die off because i am in the curing process.

I have not seen any that get to any size myself. Usually they disappear.

my first hitchhikers came out the 1st day and night. Some others have slowly popped up over the weeks.
I have to admit I've seen most of my hitchhikers at night. I'm sure you will find some! Just keep an eye out

 

[bmorosco]

Ok guys so I wish you could of seen me last night with the night vision camera trying to see something move!! I am pathetic...I hope im not the only one!

 

[whisk]

haha awesome with the night vision. Do you have moonlights? I use a flashlight if I think I spotted something unusual. This star for instance I caught red handed in the middle of the night.

 

[bmorosco]

That is very cool!

doh! im sure there is stuff in there. there is always a chance in the future you may get hitchhikers on your corals as well. i'll keep crossing my fingers you'll see something.

 

[bmorosco]

thanks whisk!

Okay to become a real reefer and to see things unknown to you get a magnifying glass. Then sit and stare at the rocks for hours like we all do you will be amazed at the little things you will find.
Here are some examples of things I have found"
Pseudocorynactis

Sun Coral

Symbiotic Starfish on a Gorgonian, about the diameter of a pencil eraser.

There is life in there, you can find it!!!!

My live rock did come with a lot of hitch hikers, but like whisk says if you look at night with a flashlight it helps at first. I use one that has the red cap to go over the light and that helped out a lot.
