In the first photo posted I can definately see red eyes - unless I am halucinating again.

when i pulled out all my live rock a few days ago for aquascaping.... i was grossed out as to what came out of my rock. The rock had only been in there for 2 months and in that time i saw some huge massive flat pink worms that looked like centipedes crawling out the bottom of my rocks spanning out to over a foot in total length... was so gross......

On top of that, i pulled a black crab out 1/2 an inch long with pure red eyes... exactly like the one you listed.

I remember there was a thread on canreef about this crab before and people advised that it was a good thing.. big beefy creb, red eyes... = no no ..... as they thought it was attacking there livestock. This particular one was eating a massive piece of squid i put in there for my predators.

So if in doubt..... chuck it out..... so Martha 'Mad Dog' Mantis was introduced to him in my other tank.... i think they had fun together as there was lots of clicking that night.

I see red eyes too, Ruth. Unless we're both hallucinating!

I must not have been looking in the right place or 1am was a little to late for the eyes to function properly, but NOW I see the nasty beady little red eyes.

Yeah sadly enough I too am thinking that maybe my new frags put me over the top. We are just going to watch the corals grow for a while and see where we want to go from there.

I found some neat stuff this weekend. The blue-headed thing looks like a small slug of some sort, and a bristly red centipede thing is pretty cool looking, too. I had a snail lay eggs on the glass yesterday - that was awesome. It is amazing what one finds in these saltwater setups.

I will let you know if I come up with anything big or evil, but I have seen nothing that could have taken out all that livestock.
