While I am still waiting on the cycle to begin I have seen a lot of hitchhikers so far. Here are the ones I was able to identify:
Vermetid Snails
Brittle stars
Asterina (tiny starfish)
Bristle worms
yellow polyp zoanthids
There are some others I have yet to identify and have only gotten a partial glimpse of. There is a small black colored clam on the rock which I have read is fine.
I am picking out Asterina stars as I find them. One thing I am unsure of is what hitchhikers can be expected to survive and which will possibly or even likely parish when the tank cycles. I am hoping that the stars are killed off through the process as I worry about any of them being left once I get to the point I can add coral.
