hitchhikers, which was your favourite?

[i cant think]

okay, this is an interesting subject to ask about - Hitchhikers - however, yes some are bad but have you ever looked at the good microfauna and hitchhikers in your tank? What was your favourite and what did it hitchhike on?
I have yet to find the hitchhiker i'd love but i have hopes that one day one will appear in my tank, possibly on my clam. In specific, I'm on about the feather-duster worms. I'd love to hear what your I guess dream and favourite current hitchhiker is because we always hear about which hitchhiker was the worst to have.

Recently, I purchased some really large Crown Trochus snails. All of them were caked with coralline algae but one had a small feather duster on it shell. Much like a Christmas tree coral type of Feather duster.

I got a weird little brittle star in some Chaeto I bought. . . I don't see it often, but still a cool little dude.

Bivalves are by far my favorite hitchhikers.

Tube anemones are beautiful! I'd love one but my griessinger goby is stopping me from getting one.

Many yrs ago I got live rock from Florida and it came with a green mantis shrimp, he was a great freebie.

I think so lol, just hanging out with the crickets over here. At least someone else got it though

Not an invert, but this dude showed up in my tank a couple of months ago as a baby. It either came in on some cheato or in live rocks.

he's beautiful! I don't mind if its a fish or invert, I actually love hearing about fish that hitchhike in on coral, rock ect... do you know what species it is?

No idea. Suggestions initially ranged from a cardinal to a killifish to a guppy when I posted a "what is this fish" thread. As it's getting older the coloring seems wrong for a killifish, so I'm wondering if its a guppy or molly. It started out about 1/4" when I first saw it and all green/gold and now it's about 1 1/4". I've called it "Lagniappe."

And yes, I agree it's really pretty. I really love how the fins are coloring up.

It's got the wrong bodyshape for a killifish, molly and guppy. maybe a cardinal?
