I just purchased some liverock from an individual yesterday. Bought 16 lbs. for $4.00. I have had the saltwater in the tank with the heater and powerheads running for over a month jut waiting for rock. There are 2 little hitchhikers stuck to the rock and I'm not sure what they are. Please help me identify these and if they will live through the cycle?

was 16lbs $4 total or $4/lb? Either way that's a good deal...there's a good thread in the regular SW section with a list of hitchhiker site you can check out.

$45.00 for 16 lbs.

Ah, I didn't see that it wasn't from a LFS...

well i've had the liverock for a week now, and adding the already established water that i got with the rock to my tank has apparently made it stable enough and i am finding all kinds of new creatures every day dwelling in and on the rock. so i decided to add a couple reef hermits and a couple damsels - all are real cheap and if they continue to thrive then i know i'm headed in the right direction. i'm going to order my lighting tomorrow.
