    Was reading a thread where somebody (LoJack) had probably the best hitch hiker Ive seen in someones tank. He had a hitch hiked pocillopora that is quite nice.

    The best hitch hiker that Ive had was some red mushrooms.
    So what is the BEST hitch hiker you have received? Could be an invert, coral, or even a fish.

    My worst hitch hiker would have to be aiptasia!!!
    Also whats your worst?

    My favorite hitch hiker was a cute little snail...but he suffered an untimely death. He disappeared as soon as my hermit crabs joined the tank! But I also really like my feather duster worms. About 6 came on one rock. It's fun to watch their dusters shoot in and out of the rock.

    Worst: Nothing awful (yet), but I don't like my bristle worms very much! They creep me out...
