Executor Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Hey Everyone, Long time reader, first time poster. I bought some of this really cool live rock (of unknown origin) from my LFS a couple of weeks ago, and I noticed a hitch hiker the likes of which I've never seen in my 3 yrs of nano-reefin'. It's got 8 branchy arms that it extends to catch floating food. It eats by pulling in each arm one at a time and cleaning it of what it's caught. I was wondering if ANY of you out there in nano land have ever seen one of these. Here's a picture, and a link to a video. When you watch the video, you can see it pull in one of its arms at about 0:15 sec. http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m9/seac...nt=P7020072.flv Link to comment
