    Cool :) It's amazing how well camouflaged they are. They really fit into the background. Even in my tank, it just happens the the chitons colors are almost the perfect match to the algae in my tank. Very interesting how that worked out.

    I have at least 2 of them in my tank, and they hard to see, mine have coraline growing on them.

    This one doesn't have coralline on it. If I look at the previous picture, the patterning seems to be identical. I do have a bunch of small red ones, that are just all red. They do also blend in well and perhaps could have coralline, I'll have to look closer next time I see them.
