Its white and almost looked like some sort of shrimp or lobster but It looked like its head was chopped off.I took some pics but the pixel is too large to post....Can anyone make sense of what I am trying to say?About the white thing not the camera...And yes it is alive well until I threw it out.It had a what looked like a lobster tail with little legs it didnt have big claws on the front though.

If it is a baby mantis, I'd be more concerned about what bit it's head off. :eek:

George, that thing was in the tank you got from me right?

It was alive?! I thought that thing died like, MONTHS ago! Hadnt seen it move. Its a weird thing I found it crawling along the side on some rock or algae or something and It was comming to the top of the tank so I knocked it back to the bottom.....thought it was dead a long time ago.

It almost looks like a tick simlar to a deer or wood tick. Is there a type of marine tick? or marine flea?

I yahoo'd it and never found anything interesting

LOL.

Christy, No it did not have a head when I had it, looked exactly the same. Lol. Weird thing. i found it......maybe 3-4 months ago.....its been living about 2-3 months in that tank unheated...with just water circulating and occasionally a 10W screw-in PC turned on. For a little while there was nothing but sand in it but I slowly added more sand then eventually a piece of LR.....then george got it. No idea what it is, and I always thought it was dead lol.
