    Today I spotted a new hitch-hiker, what I believe is a feather duster. Its hiding under the same rock that I found my sponge. Its a white tube with a red crown. I found a picture of a rock full of them so its attached. Any imput on what else it could be is welcomed.;D

    Congrats on the new wonderful hitchhiker. I think you are right on with your diagnosis.

    +1 aka featherduster.

    I used to have a cool rock that was completely made up of them.

    Too cool. This guy is bright bright red. I wish he was out in the open.
