Pikelet Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 That is one COOL beastie!!! ...... Have you sent a copy of the pic to Dr. Ron for an ID? Link to comment
hhasty79 Posted October 10, 2002 Author Share Posted October 10, 2002 I did actually -- apparently it is indeed a chiton, and the bristles are just sensory...no stinging. He's quite fast for a chiton, when he wants to be, and not shy at all...he comes out when the lights are on quite often. They do munch coralline, but not so much as to be a pest. Link to comment
