First Hitchhiker!!

Pics posted in later thread on bottom of page

Ok i have had my LR in my tank now for 4 weeks and besides all of the pods in my tank i havent seen anyother hitchhikers, until today. there is a little J shaped white tube on one of the live rocks and i noticed there are little feather type things poking out every once and a while, Now i noticed its out all the time and only goes in if a hermit comes around. i think its some type of tube worm feather duster. I do not have a pic as of yet due to it being sooo small. any input on this would be very helpful.

 

Here ya go look for feather duster #1 and #2... Both are the same thing... Scroll down a bit but its in there..!!

Also look at the very last pic theres a pic of a vermetid worm also....check that out....

 

ok i checked it out and it seems too look most like the feather dusters pic 1 and 2 but the one in my tank is soo small i can see any color on the feathers so i can 100% ID it right now, thanx for that link it was very help full. do these feather dusters grow?

 

Yes they do grow but the few i have had never grew to any realy bigg size... So dont be dissapointed ..

 

lol i will not. haha its soo small i dont see it geting big for like 45 years

 

hahah yup..!!

 

Yeah, I've had them for months and haven't noticed any growth. Although there are more of them now.

 

ya from pics online i see instead of growing they like to multiply, we will see.

 

congrats on the hitchhiker.... At least that kind isn't a P.I.T.A!! I would love for mine to multiply all over.....Like a little feather duster carpet.....

I can see it now.....
:thinking2

 

Finally got some pics


Hard to get a good pic its pretty small
