Easy way to identify hitch-hikers?

[bigduke]

Does anyone know of a good site that has pictures of all the cool, and not so cool, things that grow on/come with live rock? I've found a lot of information on this site and others but I wish there was one site with a whole bunch of pictures on one page to identify what you had. This way us beginners could easily identify what we have then read about it. How hard could it be? Any thoughts on this? As you might guess, I'm trying to figure out what all this stuff on my rock is.

We're currently working on a comprehensive hitchhiker guide here on RC, but in the meantime you may want to see the HH FAQ at reefs.org. http://www.reefs.org/hhfaq/index.html

This link was passed along to me by a fellow RC'er. It has some critters not mentioned in the Hitchhiker FAQ on Reefs.org

Hope that may help!

Thanks DNA, Reacura and Nagel, appreciate the links, I've been able to identify most of the things in my tank. Those links were very helpful and informative. I think it's great that RC is working on this.
