Your oddest hitch-hiker

[metalyx]

1 inch humu trigger. He stuck himself in a whole on the rock. It was such an effective hiding spot that I had to break the rock to get him out when I tore down the tank.

i got some mussel thing and how the hell did u get a royal gramma on ur rock?

im guessing when the rock was harvested he was hiding out in a little crack and just kept running into the rock as the pieces were distributed, i was the lucky one that got the one he hid in last

i a brittle star about a cm across(its body)

lol but during shipping in one time wouldnt the air level get too low and the water become "spoiled" with feces and itd starve to death...

When I found my trigger I had the same thought actually. I don't think he would have made it through the transportation out to Colorado. The lfs keeps a row of quarantine tanks right next to the live rocks tubs. I think (most feasibly) he jumped from one into the other. When I had him he would smack the glass on the top of my tank and hang hard enough onto food that I could pull him out by it.

Coming all the way from the ocean sounds cooler though so I'll stick with that.
