What will i get with my live rocks

Question

what hitch hikers will i get if i buy some live rocks

Answer 1

What hitchhikers you may get will vary wildly depending on where the live rock is sourced from, how well its been kept and of what quality it is.

Hitchhikers may be desirable such as a few bristlestars, to nightmares like aptasia anemones and mantis shrimp.

Answer 2

if the live rock is cured, you're much less likely to get hitchhikers

but if it's not cured there are quiet a few which you can get

the most undesirable one is a mantis shrimp, also known as a tank buster

any kind of worms

snails

the list is pretty much endless

here is a site with know hitchhikers and pics though
