i've found a few nocturnal critters in my LR i've seen this guy twice now


looks to me like an acro crab

and this guy who i've had for a while just haven't put pics up

looks like a peanut worm

it always makes me excited to see how my system is doing and how much life is living off in it i also noticed this little thing this week


looks liek a 1/4inch polyp

and


i added this guy last weekend, i just simply call him Goby, he's a blue dot sleeper and still only about 2 inches

that's not an acro crab leo. probably a xanthid.

so is it a bad guy?

 

[mr_X]

well, define bad. they are destructive as many of them are rock boring, and they can eat corals. i think he's a sump worthy critter though. the odds of you finding an acro crab not on a piece of coral are slim. they mostly live off of the slime the coral excretes, and protect it as well. it's kinda like a clown with an anemone.

hmm well i'm setting up my sump/fuge soon so i'll probably try and catch him and put it in
