    i cant really tell. i think it might be bore than 1. its body is wedged in a rock, and all of its like 10 arms come out and go every which way. There might be 2 or 3 on the rock but its hard to say.

    This came in on a piece of rock when I first set up my current tank. It looked like a little epoxy smeared on the rock when I first got it. Smaller than my pinky nail. 10 months later... it's a nice little monti cap!

    I'm pretty sure the rock was a trade in from another reefer, still pretty cool though!

    Here is another one. It's a Rusty Gorgonian. It was about 1" tall when I first seen it's polyps move :eek: , I then realized it wasn't some kind of algae. lol
    I had it for about 2 years, it was around 5" tall and 3" wide.

    I actually just found a bunch of what i think is brine shrimp that came in on my new xenia or mushrooms. Good or bad?

    I got two. One is an acro crab that came in a yellow across colony and the other is this strange encrusting coral next to that giant aptasia that is about to get gotten.

    my best hitchhiker was probably a six line wrasse, unfortunately it did not last long as i had only been in the hobby for a little while so it came up on a piece of rock in a 55 gallon tank with a niger trigger, clown trigger, volitan lion, and snowflake eel. all i can say is i had no idea he existed until he was nearly in the mouth of the lion......oops.
