Stomatella

Unknown Hitchhiker Sponge
I got the final pieces of live rock in place a few days ago, some Tonga Branch that has some nice character, and lots of Coraline algae. Unfortunately it has some other algae forms on it as well.

I decided also to push my luck and get 2 hermit crabs all ready. The sheer amount of life and food sources on my live rock, and the stability of my water thus far, made me feel pretty comfortable in the choice.

Well I can say without a doubt, Hermit crabs not only can climb live rock, but can pull out sources of food that I cant even see in the rocks, till its dug out and swirling in a cloud around him, amazing!

I cant believe how agile they are, they look so clumsy!
