My first "friend" (he was uninvited- I think he traveled for miles in the bag of sand that I put in the bottom of the tank):

Another new "friend:"
Not sure what this thing is either, but I first saw it a couple of days ago. There are also sea stars that pop out from time to time and a Hawaiian fireworm that makes a rare appearance. Sometimes, I wonder what else could be lurking in my aquarium...
