| Help with identification Hi, I'm trying
to figure out what this is. I found it my reef tank last
night. I showed the photo to my LFS and they told me it
could be a Chiton, Cryptoplax or Stenoplax. I've
looked hard doing google searches to find exactly what it is to no
avail. Do you think it is reef
safe? >From what I can tell so far it grazes on
algae. Thanks in advance, ART KOUNS <It is definitely a Chiton
of some species... and reef safe enough (an algae eater. Bob
Fenner> |

| Re: Help with identification thanks, it
narrows it down slightly. at least i appears to be reef
safe. it's kind of funny this was the first time
I've seen it being that my tank has been going for 2 years.
<Amazing, but happens "all the time"... and testimony
to your consistent good care. Bob Fenner> |
Source for Chitons? 12/1/05 I've search through
your site and many others looking for a possible source for purchasing
a Chiton. I've been fascinated by them since tide-pooling in a
marine inverts class several years back (more than several
actually). Any hope that you know of a source for these neat
creatures? Other than hoping to get one hitching a ride on live
rock. <Other than a hitchhiker, I know of no source. I'm
sure one can be special ordered from a LFS. Dealers don't stock
inverts like this because there isn't a demand for them. James

"clean-up" crews, perhaps? Marina>>
