In case you didn't see this yet, your critter looks a lot like this guy: http://www.bostonreefers.org/forums/sho ... hp?t=78806 That link was from this thread: topic128439.html - Misael

Google Gorilla Crab. I'd try to take the live one out of the display tank, possibly putting it in the sump. - Misael

I just plucked this little guy out of my tank this morning. I'm not sure if it's good or bad, but I need to decide whether to put it back or not. Any help in identifying it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, - Misael

I've had 3 snails for several years that I believe to be whelks. I've never seen them harm anything in the tank, although they'll quickly locate and eat any dead tank-mates (infrequently) and any food I put in the tank (especially non-flake food). A few days ago, I found a new little snail...

I do use A/C and the tank will be on the bottom floor, which is the coolest room in the house. I don't currently use a chiller on my 120, but the MH are in a custom hood w/fans and sit about a foot above the water. I was hoping to get by without a chiller, but I understand that may be...

I recently purchased an Oceanic 215g tank with the original Oceanic stand and hood from a local pet store that went out of business. My goal is to replace my existing 120g, which currently uses two 250w PFO HQI MH pendants and some VHO lighting. I'm curious if anybody has had success with...

I know this is a bit of a stretch, but I thought perhaps someone else may know what this is. It's about a millimeter in diameter, or slightly less. I noticed 4 of these on the glass a few days ago, although now there's only one. I'm thinking my copperband butterfly ate the other 3. To me...

Here's a picture of one of mine. I think they're actually quite beautiful if you look closely, not to mention the fact that they're efficient scavengers.

I have many snails similar to the ones pictured above. The stripes on the shell aren't as apparent on mine, so perhaps it's a slightly different variety. Mine definitely reproduce, since I see little bitty ones as well, with the largest being about a quarter inch. They hide under rocks and...

This looks much like a Frogspawn (Euphyllia Divisa) frag I bought a couple of weeks ago. If you Google that name, you'll find plenty of articles on care. It's quite pretty, but is also supposed to be somewhat aggressive. I would love to hear from the experience of others...

Yes, the threads looked like that, although they were along the glass and not free-flowing. I can't tell from your picture if yours are free-flowing. On the first picture, I didn't readily think sponge because I've never noticed one move around like this one or extend appendages. Thanks for...

Both of these pictures were taken a while back and they have since disappeared. However, the tentacled blob hung around for a number of months and actually moved around a little bit, albeit very slowly. It generally stayed within a few inches of where I first noticed it. The feelers would...
