Glad you enjoy!
I did add some asterinas already, same with some bristleworms. Currently I'm on the hunt for some green manjanos. Maybe some 'ugly' brown palys too lol.

They're a pretty common hitchhiker from what I read. Mostly from indopacific rock I think.
I began to see some instances of this too after looking harder. Any idea what species?

I wonder if you could keep some sort of flat worm or pest deemed sea slug? I know many are seen as a pest, although I also know many are unethical to keep. A shame really, they are so beautiful. I can’t say I know much on them though.

That is awesome to hear! How big have they gotten? Biggest I saw was about a month ago at a friends tank. It was about the size of a dime. I know that’s where they tend to max out, but let me know if you get any monsters!

I'd have to see it in full to properly ID, but it's definitely the smashing type. It was very active today, lots of clacking lol. I think it's dug itself a little cave beneath the big rock on the right.

Most of the asterinas are pretty small, but there's a bigger blue-ish one. I bought them as feeder starfish, so I don't know if that's even an asterina or some other species. Looks cool either way. I just hope it doesn't grow any bigger.

It's a pity that sending live animals is frobidden from Hungary, I would send you some hydroids. :smiling-face-with-halo: I still have few visible spots and who knows how many hidden. :worried-face:
