First, let me say that I have been reading this message board for about 10 months, and I just haven't registered yet.  I have learned a lot from all of you, and feel like I have gotten to know you already!  I started my first saltwater tank this year (10 gallons), and it's been fun.
 
Now my question: I bought a mushroom from Fish 4 U and they glued it to a shell for me.  The shroom's in another spot now, but about a week after I got it I noticed a tiny, tiny red feather duster on it (about 1 or 2 mm).  It continued to grow and about 2 months later I noticed another (the smaller one).  Now the larger one is about 1 cm across or maybe a little more and continues to grow.
 
Okay, just a lame hitchhiking feather duster I know.  However, I haven't ever seen one like it, and I can't identify the species.  It doesn't seem to have a tube, it just lives in a small hole in the shell.  It seems to be enlarging the hole as it grows.  If any of you can point me to information on this guy (i.e., how big will it get) that would be cool.  Thanks!
