what is this???

[psykokid]

Meh, could be. Course, there was a polyclad flatworm that i found in my tank. Turns out that the kind i had in my tank was also the kind that eats tricnidad clams. 2 weeks before i had lost a crocea that was doing great one day then the next it was dead. Sometimes prophylactic removal is best, or at least banish it to the sump till it can be id'd (dont do that with a flat worm, they will find their way back to the DT)

it appears to be a brown blur. Take it from me...I am a marine biologist.

dood...you almost made me spit my coffee all over my new laptop!   :D

Jay,

the reason the critter isn't in focus but the castle is, is because of the minimum focusing distance of the camera, cell phon or no, any lens has a minimum focusing distance.  had you moved back some, the blur would be in focus.  just file that away for the next time, maybe experiment by shooting the same object repeatedly (move back with each successive shot) until it comes into focus and remember what that distance is.

slightly better pic. got em out. have found two other crabs dead and i think he is the one at fault. what should i do with him??? I dont want to kill him cause i aint totally sure its him that was killing.

[psykokid]

either that or he molted, the HH i had did that a few times. If you have a sump relegate him to sump monkey status, thats what i did..

[Bergy]

still hard to tell what kind of crab that is, but the general shape, and position of his pinchers is lmaking me think it isnt good.

i would put him into the sump or over flow...

ok just seen something new. your seeing the same thing i seen. i recorded it and tried to get closer. i think its some star but want opinions and maybe some one already knows. i cant seem to get a good look and dont want to go for it and scare it from where it seems to stay. that way if i need to get it out then i know where it is. lol. anyway here is the pic i got. hope yal can help. thanks.
