    My brain coral has had some cool hitchhikers he's had some large tunicates, a large feather duster which my puffer just decided it was food and ate most of it but it still retracts in and out so it may grow back. But i just saw that it is now growing another small feather duster and another set of tunictes. Both the tunicate's and feather dusters are neat to watch

    tunicate, couldnt get a pic of the new feather duster, and whats left of the original feather duster

    Sweet! The best HH I've got so far is a rockworm with a purple crown. I like the tunicates:)

    I would like to get some of the large tunicates, all I have are the little purple colonies and a burnt orange with a clear skin a couple of mm above the colored flesh.
