Interesting Hitcher

[DruidsLaughter]

I rearranged a bit so I could get a better view of my mantis and got a clear view of this bright orange hitcher. Soft bodied, bright orange and able to constrict its self and eject water out the opening shown in this pic. I have been looking but as yet have not identified what it is. Anyone know?

I have some of that on my TBS rock, also. Thinking it's a tunicate, but I'm no expert.

I thought the day would never come. Amonia is 0.2 and falling. I didn't think it would ever start to go down. Since I feel a little progress being made towards getting part 2, I took a few more shots of my favorite part 1 rock. There is no telling how many hours I have spent looking at it.

This is better than pay channels on my Dish!

Not sure what this is. A tunicate? Very colorful!

All the life above my mantis' hiding hole.
