Show Off Your Hitchhikers :)

A nudibranch? Zoas are disappearing.

This is the second one I found.
 
I'm at work right now so I don't know if the link to these pics will work but here are my two main hitchhickers.

Little octopus. Given where I got my LR from is blue ring central I was quite worried that it was a blue ring for a while. But with only 2 sightings (both at night) in the first 6 months and nothing for 6 months after that I'm going to say that it wasn't a blue ring (they are diurnal) and that it is most likely dead now.

An awesome Gonodactylus chiragra who is now fully grown, leaves my fish and snails alone and loves to run around the tank eyeing off all the snails to let me know when he wants to be fed :p

Is that pink thing a sponge? It is very pretty:)
It's a tunicate. A sponge-like filter feeder, but not nearly as temperamental as a sponge. Look up its anatomy (a very interesting read). We've had this one several years and it's the size of my thumb.
