My Tunicate just Threw Up....A Live Hitchiker!

[Instigate]

Sdcorals. They have one in the display near the door. A Chalice with some glass Tunicates(a few less as of 14 min ago) and an amazing hammer colony with a large oyster and barnacles. Too big for my my tank (and wallet lol).

That's only 20min from me. How did I not know about it? lol Got to go check it out sometime!

I have success with my Tunicates with Brightwell Aquatics Blizzard-O, I turn the flow off and blow some of the food on the tunicate and let it feed for 5 minutes.

I’ve kinda seen some things come in online Esp at Divers den LA. And it really pays to make a relationship with the vendor too. Online or otherwise. I really just got lucky. A new indo mariculture/farmed vendor shipment came in. I saw it and I jumped. Lol.

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Well, thank you all for the reading and for the research. It really does take a village.

I put the shrimp back in. Somehow even negotiated to get it back on to the Tunicate. (By hand even).

Lovely lil thing.

Kinda had me worried, Bubba the Mandy was lurking pretty close.

And then , poof.

 

[Fudsey]

Very cool indeed ! ! !

 

[DSC reef]

This is really cool! That tunicate is beautiful

 

[cracker]

Ah Man, That is SO COOL! So the transparent lobster just come & goes ! Please do tell us how does one handle a tiny little thing like that.
I wonder if he can enter thru one & leave thru the other. LOL

 

[chefjpaul]

Awesomeness

 

[Kamden Uelton]

The shrimp is a parasite to the Tunicate as it feeds on the food that the Tunicate catches. I would increase feeding.

 

[cracker]

A parasite, I thought they had some kind of deal with each other. Also I'm amazed at how the lobster is so well camouflaged . Being see thru & a few mottled patches to blend in . Very cool .
I'm concerned that voracious beast Bubba will take him out for dinner .
