Take a closer look at what's under your live rock, bad hitchikers
So yesterday I was taking out of my live rock to move an anemone from the back to the front. As I was placing the live rock back in the tank I found a black sea urchin and some mystery crab on the bottom of one of my rocks. You would think you could catch the sea urchin from the very start... I never knew he was there. Threw them both in the refugium. Will take pictures later.

I have found nudis (even after a dip) hiding under loosly attached polyps. I now check to see if there are any loose polyps and if there is anything hiding underneath them before placing them in the tank.
