Very cool hitch hiker
I was just picking up some of the little kenya tree branches in my 30,and when I moved a small rock out of the way to get to the back of the tank I noticed some thing cool.
It is some kind of star fish.Its white with black bands around its arms.Arm tip to arm tip its probably close to 4 or 5 inches with a very small central disk,only about 1/2 as big as a #2 pencle eraser. Tryed to get a pic but he got back in the pretty quick.

Re: Very cool hitch hiker
I just put in a request for a good digi cam to try and get pics of the hitch hikers.IMO their the best part of having a reef tank.

Re: Very cool hitch hiker
I've got several of those guys - very cool, but they seem to stay put. I've never seen a central disk on one - in the rock, all the time.
I just got a cool hitchhiker last week, as well - a small acro crab. He stays in his perch, so it's tough to get pics. I might try some more eventually, though.

Re: Very cool hitch hiker
Cant wait for the pics yote. I have to agree there nothing cooler than finding something thriving in your tank that you didnt even know was there.

Re: Very cool hitch hiker
now i have a new hitchiker also. i picked up about 10 lbs. of live rock and 20 lbs of base rock this weekend.by the way, buying the lace baserock keeps my kids from going barefoot yote. the one piece of liverock has a strange looking disk on it. it is white and waves back and forth like a small satellite dish. it's pretty small, about as big around as a pencil eraser. and it's white with a small hole in the center. any clue's? it's underneath the rock where's it's in the shadow so i couldn't get a clear pic.

Re: Very cool hitch hiker
Sounds like a feather duster of some sort. But without a pic, I couldn't tell you for sure...
