    background, whatever it is it hitch hiked in from florida aqua cultured live rock. It has been in there undetected since Jan 24th (assuming anyway... last time live rock was added). It has just recently started showing itself as far as I can tell. First I noticed a tube coming out the back of the rock and going up the side of a glass jar I have in there and a pile of debris in front of the rock and covering what i assume is a hole. I just noticed today a snail shell sticking in the back side of the rock.

    Looks like a solid Id, thank you. Any idea what it would be doing with the snail shell?
