My brain ate my new hermit

[Mr. Slippery]

I found this today while tank watching. I just got a dozen of these big red legs the other day and I'm now already down one. And before you ask, I'm sure it's not a molt, there was his empty shell next to the culprit.

While we're on the topic, I'll show you some growth pics of this coral. I first got it as a hitchhiker on some Florida live rock, and it was just a skeleton.

After a couple months I started seeing some growth on it.

And now, over a year later, it's fully covered in flesh, growing and coloring in nicely, and happily feasting on my inverts.

Matt, isn't that a "Rose" coral? I have a smaller one that came on my TBS rock.

That's kinda like what happened to me, my brain ate my a nass snail of mine.

Maybe......The rock is from FL so I'm sure it's the same one.

Matt, see my similar experience in this thread: http://216.235.242.50/forums/showthread.php?t=7196

Btw, very interesting growth/development of that coral!
