Will Live Rock Have Any Growth On It

[jayphr99]

will my live rock that i just put in tank start to have anything at all grow on it. im not really sure what happens now with live rock

depends on the quality. you should get some coraline at the very least. prolly some featherdusers and maybe some little critters...Don't expect it overnight though

Almost undoubtedly yes. Mine was plain and after about 2 weeks, i started getting orange and purple coralline algae, some type of seaweed and some little bright green growths. About a month later, i found a little crab [hitch-hikers sometimes dont come out for a long time] and lots of other little things.

It will get growth, but there is die-off in new tanks.

i have noticed today that there are a couple of what look like worms with spikes crawling out the rock are these ok or should i get them out and how

 

[J-Money]

sounds like bristleworms, those are good

Have a look at Xtalreef this has a list of Good & Bad hitchhikers
