      saw an old "friend" last night

      Was looking at the aquarium after dark, and I saw what looked like a long colourless tentacle coming out of some live rock. This extended out about 1-1/4 inches as it seemed to be searching for food/detritus.

      I remember seeing something similar when the tank was set up back in 2000, but hadn't seen the guy for years. Glad to see he is still around.

      Anyone else have long-lived (or effectively reproducing) unusual hitchikers?

      That name sounds familiar. Though, as I mentioned, it has been over ten years since I had reason to try to identify him.

      Gotta love weird worms!!

      Prolly the strangest things I find (aside from creepy crawlies) are random LPS frags under rocks when I'm redecorating... so far I've found acans, candy canes, brain corals, and even a small favia spawn!! Dang LPS can live without light for quite a while it seems
