    Hey, I purchased a 30lb base rock, and on it contains some weird organisms. There are an abundance of these creatures on the rock. What are they?

    Thats an odd looking creature. When you say you bought base rock was it dry out of water with these on it or was it in a system which would not make it base but live rock.
