Simulated Fish Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Is this a flatworm or am I crazy? Didn't see any movement and the Ric is normally extended over this spot on the rock. Is this green thing a flatworm or just odd color on a rock lol Thanks! Link to comment

Cool little hitchhiker! http://www.lionfishlair.com/hitchhiker/chiton.shtml Wow really?! I was going to get a few from ReefCleaners when I get my CUC I thought that they only came in shades of brown and red. No idea they could have such vibrant lime green coloration! Link to comment

Little guys on the move since I last checked! As long as I'm counting the plates correctly (the little spots on his back right?) Then there are 8. Hope he doesn't hide away forever or eat all the coralline algae! I'm using the two rocks that the yuma rics came on to seed the coralline algae growth He is moving! Bonus 2nd Yuma Ric: Sorry about the bad pic! Will have better ones when I update my build tread tomorrow, my macros from Stella should be arriving Link to comment
Tamberav Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Very cool! I have one in my cold water tank, he started out the size of a pod and is now over an inch big a year later. He comes out at night and does a good job cleaning up. Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Lol, mine are always orange or rust colored. Little cute fellas are also impossible to detach from rocks and glass once they've parked themselves there. Link to comment
