You just never know WHAT you're going to see in your tank. Last night I was moving some frags around and moved the "Frag Rack" (Mag-Float). When I did I disturbed whatever was living IN the velcro and here's what I saw... I can't find an exact match to it online..

and

Does anyone had a specific ID on it?

Hey, I remember reading an article in a mag a while back about "what is eating your coral?" 2nd pic looks similar to what they called a marine spider. Not 100% but my best guess. Say that over isopod 'cause of the thinner thorax section. 1st pic looks like isopod with the more cylinder body.

Thanks Al! It didn't resemble at all the marine spiders I've seen - too many legs. Antennae of an isopod clearly visible in the second pic. The pycnogonids don't have those. Much better that it's an isopod!

I know! I hate to even see pics of those nasty things, and don't ever want to see one in my tank!

Yeah, been trying to find another picture like the one I saw in the mag and can not. The one in the mag looked like an ant, but from what I can find online look nothing like the pics above.
