Limpets. Good grazers. They could scour the perimeter of some corals,but over all a good addition to CUC.

Florida live rock

Florida live rock

Yup. I figured. I had limpets on mine as well

Don't be freaked if you find a fleshy limpet or two.

Did any of the corals survive?

what corals? Sorry, I'm new to reefing so I'm still learning as I go lol. I do know I have bristleworms, feathers, some aiptasia, and a dead bird.

Dead bird? Wow . Lol

I had several species of coral and clams on my Florida live rock. Many of them survived five days in a box only covered by wet newspaper.

Not to mention sponges, limpets, and the occasional bristle worm or two...dozen.

neat! here are the pictures of my live rocks, let me know if you find any other critters or corals that I may have overlooked. I know I got quite a few sponges.

I'm thinking about changing my aquascape as well. Gonna try to stack the rocks and create ledges and a bridge, so I can reduce the footprints of the rocks on the sand.

I see one coral...looks like a golf ball coral. It may not make it though

Also looks like you have at least one clam shell...it's open, so that usually means the clam has perished.

thanks for pointing those out, seems like I have 3 golfball corals then lol. I plan on getting a clam later on, anyways. Not too worried

Wait, what about the dead bird? Any pics of the dead bird?

Well, the kind of tridacnid clam you're talking about will be much prettier than the turkey wing clams that inhabit the GoM.

Yep. Looks like an oculina with a golf ball to the right of it. The golf ball looks pretty good, and the oculina may yet bounce back ;-)
