    i tried taken some pics of someting new i found they didnt come out the greatest but i had to try and hold a flashlight and take a pic at the same time so there kinda fuzzy its just i thought it be my only chance to get this

    its the green lookin thing with the white triangle it was moving forward so im figuring the white part was its head

    it was completely flat around the outside edge but the middle of the body had some thickness and structure to it looked like some kind of shell


    i got a couple shots of it so here they are

    thing

    thing 2

    thing 3

    thing 4

    and here it is crawling over top of the rock getting away from the light

    thing going over rock

    ya i know i wish they came out clearer but holdin a flashlight with the camera was kinda difficult. i tried several pics flash on, flash off, flash this, flash that and those are the clearest i got. it was probably my only chance might not ever see it again. maby its my alien im hopen for [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

    Ditto on the limpet. I find them on corals and rock for all locals, so fiji or not, no matter. I've had them for many years with zero problems. They breed quit nicely, stir the sand bed around the glass and rocks and they eat aglae. Can't loose. Well, some larger types do eat corals, but there fairly large.

    Hey, how did Jakets become an octopus? Is that just the order of things? Can you add octopus behind my title? 3reef moderator & octopus, cool. Better screw your lids down tight, theres octopi loose on the board.
