WOW! Part 2!

[pkpthrillho]

The amount of stuff that comes with part 2 is just amazing. Picked it up around 1:30, got it back around 3 and just now am sitting down.

I got this weird, stony lobster/shrimp looking thing. He doesnt move much. Any idea of what he is? He's about an inch long.

How do you guys affix the various items to rock?

Could be a pistol shrimp or who knows.....would need to see a pic.

Most things can be attached using epoxy or gel super glue, many vendors sell both specially for marine use. Certain things like smaller gorgonians can also just be carefully stuck into a hole or crevice in a rock.

DEFINITELY not a pistol shrimp, he came specifically in a bag, he looks like a little lobster but he's kind of...bulky and ugly.

Another question, I got a small bag with lots of debris in it and some sort of fragile dirt brown soft mass(not a cucumber). Some sort of coral? I think maybe it fell apart? I'm not sure. It has little tubes sticking out of it and I think on the inside they were neon green. Might be able to snap a pic when I get home. Do you know what that is by any chance?
