Hitchhiker on Torch

[joeoliver]

I got this torch at RAP back in August. I saw the growth on the skeleton but thought it was dead. I was doing some night watching just now and to my surprise it moved. pretty cool! anyone know what it is?

Bivalve

Face hugger egg. Dont get too close

That looks like a keeper. I would carefully remove it, frag it into a few pieces, then put them up for sale. About $200ea. seems pretty reasonable lol

Very cool bivalve, definitely a keeper.

love the responses

assume you’re spot feeding it nightly right?

 

[bakbay]

Reason I asked if you’re spot feeding…. When I first started my reef many moons ago, I saw that my tank was flourishing with life! I had these cute, little glass anemones so I was spot feeding them. Well, that was before the Internet & Reef Central. I didn’t know that these were aiptasias!!!

That's why I don't use mechanical filtration, I want to feed everything in the tank.

I don't spot feed but keep my fish well fed, so I'm sure it's getting some of that or fish
