    :eek: 2 feet!!!! - can just imagine finding one that big crawling around on living room floor one morning...[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Found in sump...never have seen in main tank. Probably there also, but hopefully enough "pod eaters" to keep to minimum.

    Again, thank God for wrasses...they really do take care of so many of those nuisance nasties...

    Think they come in riding on a fish? --- could be.

    Added a Banded goby couple of months ago and a 12 line just recently.

    Both got good Cu treated baths before going in tank...:-/

    But did relatively recently add a bunch of what I was pretty certain to be very dead rock to sump...stuff I picked up on beach in Bali. Has been sitting out in garage for ages....Maybe something "hibernating" in it....????

    Who knows...:confused:

    Chittons and Limpets are slow growers, slow movers and have EXCELLENT camoflauge.

    yeah mine lives in the front of the tank now, about 1/2 inch below sand surface. You can see him 24/7. He does come out and cruise at night

    I bet you have a lot more then you think you do. Where there is one, there are others.
