found him in my breeder tank

think he was a hitchhiker in macro algae

he was munching all my pods and all over the place seems to be out all the time
 
Yikes! Gives me the willies thinking of sticking my hand in the tank with that. Looks like my mother-in-law.
 
I'd just as soon kill it and forget it ever existed. I look at that picture, and then I look around my feet to make sure there's no spiders around them.
 
Freakiest creature I have ever seen on an aquarium board. Make sure it's dead before you dispose of it!
 
Holy crap!!! Hope I never find anything even resembling that in my tank!!!!! I wouldn't be able to put my hand in there ever again! Yikes!
 
I just sprayed my phone with a whole bottle of insect killer!!! I don't like spiders. Creepy looking thing.
 
Yea that thing definitely needs to go lol even if it is reef safe its not very safe to look at...
 
I might just be a simple freshy, but I really think somthjng like that could be harmful if he took a bite outta you.
