Well here is #2 of the hitchhikers from my live rock. This one is just a little bigger round than a quarter. I didn't get pics of the first one. Off to the sump with him ;D

Pulled the rock out and poked him with a straw for the first one, the second one was out on a rock I Picked it up and it fell off on my living room floor. I JUST got a third, he was in a rock that was easy to move and I lifted it up and knock him off with a straw. Will it hurt anything to have them in the sump?

i've had some hitchhikers like this before in tanks, hard to get them out if they get into a hole in your LR but it's a good idea to take them out if you can, from my experience at least, they will disturb your corals and livestock.....
