See if you can get a Red filter for your flashlight! I have found that my critters don't run as fast with the red light, while often the direct flash (white) light makes them hide.

haha blossom. i've been following this thread, and couldn't agree more. i spend more time just gazing at the live rock more than i look at the fish! it seems the longer i look the more i see. i always heard others talking about having pods, and i was sad that i didn't have any, until one morning i turned on the light, and when i looked at the rock i saw about 50 of the little guys scurrying to find a hole to hide in!! now i see new baby feather dusters, some strange worms creeping along the rock, new forms of algae, and all kinds of other critters. my live rock is quickly becoming my fav part of the tank!!! i sit and gaze, and before i know it an hour or two has flown by. i never knew that i'd get so into this marine aquarium hobby when i dove into it a few months ago!!

Lady G, i was thinking you did it already if you havent then be forewarned DONT DO IT YOUR LIFE IS OVER IF YOU DO LOL.
I find it easier with the m/glass if you break it out of the casing then just place it on the glass and slide it gently tho dont scratch the tank lol
gonna move my rock aroung b4 dark i want more surface area lol
