I went and purchased a piece of driftwood from a tank at a lfs. They put the piece in a box and I drove around and did some errands. When I got home I pull out the piece of driftwood and notice movement. I immediately ran upstairs to my tank and put it in and in one of the holes is this pleco. I'm shocked it was out of the water for over an hour. But it has been 4 days and it is still alive so I'm just wondering what kind of pleco it is. Can anyone help? Thanks.

I would love to have that happen. It did once with my salt tank when I got a piece of live rock and came home with a neon dottyback. I like your bonus fish a lot better lol
