Its inevitable, good, bad, indifferent, it will somehow find it's way into your tank.

I have always like keyhole limpets, I have always thought they were cool little critters along with chitons.

I wondered not too long ago if I would ever get them as a hitchhiker. Well this morning I was checking my overflow box which I rarely check and low behold, I have a small army of keyholes living in the overflow and nowhere else in the tank that I can see and I mean a lot of them there must be close to 30 or so in there.

I’m still awaiting my dream and “last” hitchhiker to face, this guy
Looking Coral Reef GIF by Monterey Bay Aquarium


All jokes aside, I love it when I get a new hitch hiker and didn’t dip my newest SPS on purpose and actually dont plan on dipping SPS anytime soon (My hopes to find a hitchhiking bryaninops goby is still there). I’d also love to get a hitchhiking snail or limpet as I have never come across one over here.
