    I got one rock that had a few feather dusters on it, when I bought the new rock. I just turned that one rock and to my surprise I found this. One even stuck to the wall. It's awesome! I may start farming them :lol:

    Holy mother of pearl! I have two, but I can only see them if I don't turn my head and scare them!

    Does that also mean you have tons of copes or do they live off of other detritus?

    I do have tons of copepods and amphipods, small britle stars, baby snails, bristle worms(sometimes when I yank em' out I throw them into fuge), I just found a couple of zoas in there(?), there is tons of cool stuff in there.
