Live Rock Hitchhikers

[dixaisy930]

I was just curious as to what some of the best and worst surprises people have gotten from their live rock. Please share what kind of live rock is was as well.

This will be a cool thread!

Good hitchhikers include:
-Some brillinat Macro algae (Green, Red and Purple)
-Some blue/green mushrooms
-Small colony of Zoanthids
-Some crabs (love 'em)
-Bristle worms
-Corralline algae (Purples, Pinks and Light browns)
-and a Huge variety of Sponge's

Bad guys include:
-Majanos
-Apstasia
-Mantis (No harm done yet really, just annoying)

Good surprises I've gotten...

Shrimps,
Serpent Starfish,
Fan Worms,
Blue, Yellow & White Sponges,
Lots of Coraline algae,
and of course Bristle Worms!

Some bad surprises...

Coral eating starfish,
Red Majanos,
Glass Anenomes.

Fortunately none of these things have done any real damage as i have removed them all.
