Hitchhiker ID

Hey all, i need some help...again! I just purchased some LR from my LFS and it came with some "creatures" im not too sure what they are. Maybe some of your expertise can help me. I attached the photos on here, so i hope this works. If not, ill have to find another way to show u the pics.

Pic #1) I think it is a brittle starfish, but im not sure. If it is, will it grow to be any bigger b/c i have about 20 that came in/on the rock

Pic #2) Possibly some sort of starfish? I have 2 so far, one with all its arms and one with 3 full arms and what looks like 3 or 4 stubs. Their color is kinda greyish brown with redish marks on it

Pic #3) Have no clue about this one, except that it has a clearish white bubble like bottom and it moves very slowly

Pic #4) theres quite a few of these things, they have the same clearish white bubble like bottom and they move very slowly, they are also a neon green color when the actinics or moon lights are on. i have tons of these on the rocks

Pic #5) this might be another type of starfish, its white unlike the ones in pic #2, with a redish pink dot in the center of it.

All these hitchhikers are very small...mostly a little bit bigger than the size of a pencil eraser. Please help if you can!! Im curious to know if any of these things will cause problems for me in the future.

Thanks,
BLONDIE!

LOL Nice Pic, hehehe

New Years Day Pick :-)
So was that pic created by someone that had too much to
drink, or for people that had too much to drink :-)

There is only one picture on that page, and it's nothing
but a blur of colors, and shades of brown.

Okay, so the 4th pic isnt the best in the world, but the blur of color is the live rock that the brown things are on. anyway, there are 4 other pics of things that im not 100% sure what they are. I still need some help with identifying those.

Not that I'm going to be of any help to you but I can only see one
picture which looks to be of live rock with two olive green spots on it.
There are no other pics.

Nope. Like Wayne says, there's only one picture on that page.

Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to
your slightly older self.

thats strange because i can see all 5 pics (all seperate attachments) and when i had someone go on and check from a different computer, they saw all 5 pics too. i wonder why? hmmm...ill have to see if i can figure out y they arent showing, or how i can get a link to show them another way.
thanks for clearing up that there was only 1 pics.

Hi Blondie,

The problem with your links not showing up appears to have to do with
the way you read and post to this newsgroup. Since RAMR is a Usenet
Newsgroup, most people access it through some sort of news server.
Apparently you're reading and posting via a web based mirror service
and that fact is somehow causing your links to not show up for most of
us. [Note that the link that DID show up was the last of the group that
you included.]

I'm posting a link to your post as it showed up on
fishkeepingbanter.com :

http://www.fishkeepingbanter.com/showthread.php?t=26717

Hopefully those people who so wish can access your links this way.


Interfacelessly yours,

Alex

How do they do that - get our newsgroup to appear in a forum? It's sort
of odd to know that what you write appears in places other than where
you think it does. I've discovered the same thing with alt.comp.freeware
