I found a 1/4" long creature crawling on the back of my tank. It looks like an overgrown brine shrimp, but it crawls like a snail. It looks like a cross between a nudibranch and a white brine shrimp. If it helps, my bicolor blenny took a bite at it, and didn't like it.

Have you noticed no matter what angle you look at that Spawn of Satan in the attached picture it's black eyes seem to be staring at you.

I fished some of these out of my tank last night and had a nightmare that I woke up with them attached to my neck.- Turns out it was just my wife fingernails. She jump out of bed almost as fast as me. Try explaining how "1/4 pill bugs" from your fish tank gave you a nightmare to your wife early in the am. As you can imagine her response was less than supportive.

No, it's not an isopod. It's main body is very thin. It has two long jointed antennae, much like a male brine shrimp. It's back has long filament like appendages sprouting from it. I would think that it is a nudibranch, but it is only 1/4 of an inch long and is not colorful

or at least some kind of 1/4 inch long not-colorful nudibranch...
