Hi all, we've only been at this marine lark for a while and there are so many things to learn! Todays question is regarding hitchhikers on live rock and attitudes to them. We have quite a lot of live rock given the size of the tank, probably 15+kg's(I know it's cost over £200 at £12/kg but I don't keep a tally on what I spend so don't know exactly) in an Orca and it's amazing what appears after a month or so. We've seen crabs and worms and other scuttling things and generally leave them well alone, but last night we spotted something that looked like a garden slug but it had a very small irridescent shell. Difficult to give a size as like a slug it varies as it moves. Now to the question, I've got no idea what it is and whether or not to hook it out at some point in the not too distant future. As I don't know what it is could it be one of these things that turns it's stomach inside out and poisons eveything else in the process. Am I right in having the attitude to leave things alone to get on with life or do I consider this fella and hitchhikers in general a threat? We have a few small fish, a couple of crabs, and about 10 corals and I'm concerned that something is going to start munching on them.
What do you guys reckon?
Cheers
