I had one of these little buggers kill my first clownfish. I got him off but I guess not in time.

As if there wasnt enough bad things that can be in your tank. Theres all sort of strange stuff climbing out of the rocks. I just won the apetisia battle. Now I am leaving the sixline wrasse to make meals of piramid snails. Im hearing small clicking noizes some during the day, but mostly at night. No deaths known so far, hope its just a pistol shrimp.
I just ordered some leather corals. I belive that I read somewhere that there is some type of critter that can hitch a ride with them that likes to burrow in the base of the coral. Anyone know what I am looking for? Or was it just one of the latenight message board searching times when all the stories seem to run together?

Actually you wiil need to blame me...I started it by asking what these critters are that I got off of two of my fish and tons of them off my filter cloth on my skilter 400. Sorry. Just be careful what you bring home from the beach

I had one attach to my Mandarin just beside his Dorsal fin. The only way that I could get it off was with a hemostat (sp). put my Mandarin in shock for awhile, but he survived nicely. Then, the other week, I was checking the seals on my HOB overflow and found one in the prefilter. Both went to septic tank hell.
Thanks Bang Guy, for this post, more people need to be aware of these things.
