    Is this thing okay?

    It opens and closes up every so often. I've seen something similar before out in the ocean, but not this small.

    Sorry about the blurry picture, need a bit more light next time I try to shoot something in the tank.

    Alright, didn't think that was a feather duster.

    The barnacle we knew about, it was the reason why my wife picked out that snail. Unfortunately didn't actually check at the LFS if there was a snail in it, oh well, it still looks nice, and was not worth the drive back to get one that actually alive.
