| Scopas Tang  | Re: 3 hitchhikers to identify The first one looks like a spaghetti worm to me. I don't know what I'm looking at in the other two.

| Reef Sanctuary's Mr. Wizard | Re: 3 hitchhikers to identify OK, the Heart is a Ascidian ( Tunicate, Sea Squirt). The clear tubers off to the left of the Ascidian are the tentacles of a spaghetti worm. The water bug pic is not clear enough but I think it is a chiton. Chitons have no legs and "water bugs" do. Chitons are real slow and water bugs can be pretty quick if need to. Chitons are a type of "sea-shell" animal. Water bugs are kinda like shrimp Ascidian Urochordates One similar to yours  Chiton WELCOME TO CHITONS Similar to yours  Water bugs, Isopods Isopod gallery Similar to yours
