Lucky Ole Me

[Pyro]

I recently started my Marine tank and initially added live sand and some rock I got from a closing down lfs. On Monday I ebayed for some more live rock and was managed to get some at £8 kilo.

When I got home - imagine my surprise when I see 2 hermits and large snail crawl/slither of the rock.

Then the next day I see a small, yellow lump. I look closer and its a small anenome.

I'll try to take pics later so someone can ID it.

Looks like my clean-up crew has got a kick-start

Yey hitchikers, how big is the tank?

It's 125L, around 25gallon or so.

Hitchhikers are wonderful! Ive even heard of eels and an octopus! Congrats, sounds like youve already got your clean-up crew started! Wait a few days, and youll be surprised what kind of life youll notice!

If you can pickup a couple more kilos of LR it could only benefit your tank. A good rule of thumb is 1kilo per every 2 gallons, so you'd ideally have 12kilos in your tank

I've got 14Kg's in the tank. To be honest though I'd like more as I wanna hide all the equipment.
