My cool hitch hiker star fish

[fishoholic]

Soon after we first started in this hobby in (March `06) we noticed a cool little hitch hiker star fish. I see him every now and then and I could of sworn I had a pictures of him from the years before but unfortunately I can't find any. But I did see him again today and I got some good pic.'s. Three years ago when I first saw him he was about the size of a dime and he was mostly round and flat with barely any noticeable leg bumps sticking out. Now he's about the size of a quarter, is getting bumps on his body and has 7 little legs sticking out. Here's some pic.'s of him now, if I find any before ones I'll post them later.





It's amazing to me that not only has he survived this long, but he's survived 4 tank moves. Plus moving back and forth from the reef tank to fowlr tank, when we took out the LR to catch the fish for velvet treatment. The 2nd pic. is from the fowlr tank a couple of months ago before we moved the rock back into the reef tank, so glad to see he made it back into the reef tank as the 1st pic. from today shows.
