Yeah it must of come in on the live rock. We've had that rock for about a year now so hes been in it all that time without being detected. You do get all sorts come in on your rock.
we have got to try to be extra careful that they dont give us a wallop when we are servicing the tank , but I think that will be nigh on impossible, if he wants to strike theres not a lot we can do about it .
