I guess I just don't get the dry rock crowd  |
I'm the same. I like finding inverts that hitched along. I'm still finding new critters years later. The latest is a bright yellow feather duster. As much as I don't like certain 'pests' (speared and removed a whole bunch of bristleworms and asterina during my move), to me they go a long way to keeping a better system balance. If your tank is too sterile it's apt to cause more damage when a problem arises.
