    when i first put my rock in my tank i saw it, but this morning when i turned my light on to look at my tank, i noticed it had moved!! haha i wonder if it's alive, i'll try to take a picture. It kind of camouflages itself against the rock

    I've got one, too, Puffer Chick. My tank's been cycling for a week, and about two days into it, I realized I had one on the rock.....looked for it the next day, and he'd moved around to the back of the rock. So much for trying to get a picture now!
