i understand that as long as they cant put it in their mouth it shouldnt be a problem.

is that not a correct understanding? as i dont know a whole lot about these fish

 

[ddr_phish]

I think thats pretty much the gist of it.

Wow nice hitchiker! How did you get the rock (out of a dealers tank, "dry" etc?). I have heard of fish coming in on rock. I got a small clingfish once that came in on the liverock attached to a coral but as it was a coral, it was in water the whole time I think.

lucky all i got on my live rock was some feather dusters and some other hard coral that i cant even identify yet

he was in a fresh shipment and the rock is semi hollow and he was hiding in there, he popped out shortly after i put the rock in my tank

well no matter how you got it, its a nice fish especially since it was free with the rock
