I Found These In My Tank Today and Want to know what they are and if need be how to catch the little things

The first one is an emrald crab the second I think is a bristle worm

Yep. That looks just like an emerald crab. They are usually green though. And those are most definitely bristleworms. The emerald crab is a good algae eater but not always reef safe. Most bristle worms are good, they can sting you with the bristles though! Don't touch then! They are some of the best CUC members out there.

I have an emerald and he is fine with my corals he I haven't seen him near them yet.... Hopefully I don't haha

 

[paul87]

Yea as long as they stay fed. They can be opportunistic eaters though.

Agreed.. It's def a bristle worm! Kept it they are good for your tank! Some people will say to get rid of them but don't!
