    Anybody ever find something interesting in there tank they did not buy? Like other than brown paly's and algae. I brought a Yuma a while back that was on a small rock. After I had it for awhile I noticed there was a tiny transparent polyp of something on the back side. I almost scrapped it off thinking it was a small aptasia but decided not to, it looked just a little different. I forgot about it, than a few months later I noticed it and realized, wow that's a plate!

    Wow, that is cool! The only coral hitch hiker I have gotten was a hidden cup coral.

    The only hitchhiking coral that I've gotten was nuclear holocaust paly which is growing like mad in my tank. If anyone wants any, let me know
