I just set up this tank about a month ago. The rock was once uncured liverock, used to cycle the tank. I just resently got the damsel.

Since this tank is new I expect it will take a while for things to develop. But I will post updates here.

Thanks a bunch :) This is my first SW tank.

I don't know if you noticed. But on the right rock there is a shadow, like an opening. That is actually an opening that leads to a small cave inside. My damsel likes to sleep there. Sometimes I can't find him because he hangs out there.
 
Ah and so far my only hitchhikers are several featherdusters and a chiton.

I thought it was dead at first. I have never seen it move. But it ends up in different places all the time. Always stays on the top flat rock.
 
Thinking of trying saltwater

I just got back in to the aquarium hobby a year or so ago. I have a freshwater 10g that is on its second setup because I moved. THe more I read about saltwater I am really interested in the live rock and watching the Hitchhikers develop. Looks like I can watch your tank to see how things go.

Good luck

I know feeling. I was the same way. I also have a 35G FW in addition to this 10G SW. I was searching through fish forums for FW and found this one. I went into the SW section one too many times and got hooked on liverock and SW tanks in general.

I don't expect much from this live rock batch at the moment since it was uncured. But I plan on picking up some more cured LR later. Hopefully I will see some more interesting creatures in a couple of weeks. I think I have one or two extremely small baby snails. But I won't be able to tell for sure. And I haven't turned off the lights yet and shined a red light to try to view the night crawlers.

TropicalNorth's thread has some great photos of the live rock in his new Saltwater.

Thank you :)
I plan to try out some soft corals in a couple of months. But I will need to update my lighting for them.

My plan is to have the liverock teaming with life. I might end replacing some of the liverock. I am going to aim for a nice variety of small creatures or organisms since I am only going to have one small fish in there.
