    Yeah I was thinking cucumber thanks for the replies guys. Yeah he seems pretty content living under my moonstone, hes been there for over a year now I believe. I just thought I'd find out what the heck it was, so I posted some pics.

    I might be able to get a shot of him tonight feeding. I did disturb him a bit last night taking the picture, so he might take a few nights before he starts grubbing again.

    Hendrix loves it when i use the turkey baster on the rocks...his tentacles come out super far and he just gobbles all kinds of stuff off them.

    You might try that to stir things up a little and see how yours reacts.

    I just think thats the coolest hitchhiker! lucky you ;)

    Yeah it is a pretty cool hitchhiker. I will try that tonight with some coral food, I can do a little extra feeding my nitrates our down to 1 now after adding some Purigen about a week ago.
