what's the coolest thing to "hitch-hike"on your LR

I bought 65lbs of Haitian LR from LiveAquaria.com about 3 years ago and to this day I'm still finding new sponges on the bottoms of my rocks. I re-aranged some rocks last night and found some neon pink/orange sponge colonys on 2 bigger rocks. I also have some bright white tubular colonys and some darker pink encrusting sponge. At first I hated the white ones but now I'm thinking it's pretty cool I have all these sponge varieties in my Rock.

Anybody else find cool stuff in thier rock after it cured?

The coolest hitchhiker I ever got was a four-armed blue linkia star. It was beautiful.

A lot of feather dusters/tubeworms. They have a white tube and a red "duster". My rock is from Fiji.

Apparently some kind of SPS. I can't tell what it is yet, but I have two little buds that appeared after I had the rock about 4 months or so... I know I was amazed to see it too, especially since I've only been running pc lighting! (I get my MH/VHO setup tomorrow... We'll see what it is!)

I slapped a couple of fish on top of the live rock one time and then bought the rock. Now that's a hitch-hiker! JK!

Thumbs up!

I had a blenny (not sure what kind) hitchhike on/in some rock. I also had 2 mantis shrimp hitchhike. Also got some corals that I have no idea what they are but they are doing great!

Snowflake eel. Not sure why the LFS had it in the liverock tank. Got it home after a couple of hours out of the water and put the rock in the tank. I even had my thumb in the hole where the eel was hiding. After I put it in, I noticed the eel and figured it was dead, but after an hour, it was in perfect health.

LFS told me to keep it!
