In my recently cycled 72, I noticed a small critter running across the sand earlier. I'm sure it came with the LR, but I want to make sure its not like a baby mantis or something bad. It was about 1/4" long, clear, and kinda looked like a worm with legs. Anybody?

Yeah, copepods. They're fast little buggers too. Shine a reddish light (or an LED flashlight, if you can get one - that's what I use) in sometime at night and you should see tons of them, depending on how many were in the LR when you started up. They'll reproduce quickly and the population should grow nicely.
