Smile ** Hitch Hiker ** - ID found - Cryptoplax larvaeformis
Pictures show a Cryptoplax Larvaeformis (Chiton), a harmless herbivore. We found this creature just the other night. Very cool little animal. We welcome him into our collection.....now that we know he is good to have. Thought this might be interesting if you have never seen one before. (we never have)

Before a tank crash I had 2 years ago I had a Chiton that was about 3-4". Came out at night.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

By the way... love your coraline!

Mine grows like hair algae! I can't stop it from "painting" the tank purple!
