    Yet another cool hitchhiker

    We got in about 200 lbs of LR awhile ago and have found some pretty cool hitchhikers, clams, scallops, emerald crabs, baby urchins, snails, etc, and this little guy just showed up yesterday...



    A tiny Decorator Crab with multi colored sponges. He’s about 1/2” across. An adult DC came in with the LR, too.

    Such cool stuff!

    I got one too! The LR that I bought from you has about 35 different colors of coralline algae, sponges, a flame scallop (or is it fire? I always mix them up...) feather dusters and various filter feeding worms, at least 1 decorator crap, a few emeralds, what I'm pretty sure are oysters, a few patches of macro algae that looked really good until my tangs annihilated them, a few small branching corals that may be gorgonians (I'm not sure yet, they're still tiny, but they have polyps!) and something that keeps me confused... there's a small patch of rock, right in front of the glass, that spews white stuph out every once in a while... It's definitely alive, I see the white stuph at least once every two days, and it's happened for over a month now... the part I don't like is that all I can see is a crack in the rock... I have no clue what's doing it! The Coralline has spread across the rest of my tank, so there are lots of new colors everywhere! Yeah, that rock is more expensive than most of the rock you find in stores or on-line, but it is certainly more valuable! It's changed the entire DT! One of the best investments I've made yet! Oh yeah, the RBTA is doing wonderfully! It's bigger than my fist now!
