Anyone got any great pictures of Reef Hitchhikers that we hate to love?

hi took this picture last night its Pseudocorynactis sp aka orange ball anemone. not an anemone at all but a corallimorph. Anyway I got them as hitchikers and they are spreading all over my tank now, really pretty but they are now starting to remind me of aptasia lol.

hi there mejiggery!

thats a lovely specimen! its like a cross between a balanophyllia and an aiptasia. im envious! cause im the sort to peer in the live rock tubs in lfs hoping to spot some queer hitchhiking creature.

hi :-)
yes their very pretty but i'm actually trying to dispose of them they have spread all round my tank. So they really need to be kept an eye on. Not as bad as aptasia in the fact they stay in the shaded parts of the tank though.

some people get urchins as hitchikers a little smaller than the one photographed but it still happens :-)
