So it has been seven months after adding rock from KP Aquatics, and I am still finding new hitchhikers.

II believe the first one is a Chiton?

Any thoughts on this? It wiggles in the current a little bit, and doesn't react when touched. Tunicate?

And one final question, at what size do people consider a bristle worm too large? I caught a glimpse of one hanging at least 4 inches out of the rock with no sign of a tail in sight.

Also, if you watch the tunicate enough, you should be able to see it "breath" like a lung. Amusing to watch sometimes.

Thanks, I think I can see the "breathing". I am surprised I didn't notice the tunicate sooner.

On an unrelated note, my wife laughs at me when I bring out the red flashlight at night.
