    Looking at my new aquascape, i found another clam! it's tiny and about half the size of chowder. But when i was doing my aquascaping, something round fell off one of the rocks and into the sand, so i'm hoping i didn't crush Chowder. But WOOT another hitchiker clam :D lol these are the only hitchhikers that i have seen, except for the dead worm :D

    So cool!! Hopefully he lives and can befriend Chowder! :)

    Also, I bet more hitch hikers will show up. Some of mine took quite awhile to come out. Just keep on the look out!

    You'll notice hitchikers pop up over time. My latest is a large outbreak of feather dusters. I have probably 20-30 bright red ones, and countless more white fuzzy ones sprouting from the rocks. That, along with tiny white and white/grey starfish, tiny and brittle.

    Just keep watching the rocks over time. haha

    My starfish showed up after like 2 months, so it can happen! They are my favorite hitch hikers by far!
