| Reef Painter  | ID this odd critter please! I found this guy on my Zoo rock. Any idea what it is? He is a little smaller than a dime and seems to have joints at its legs. It would also appear that it has a hard shell. This little bugger walks almost like a spider, so I don't think it is a star fish. Any ideas? He is going into the sump for now... |

| Reef Painter | You rock, Nikki! Thanks for the info! I put this guy in my fuge/sump so he can't do too much harm. Quote:
Now keep in mind, I just combined two tanks into one, removed all substrate and added a six-line wrasse. I don't know which of the factors did it, but I agree, the seaspider *could* do that per their description.
