Hitchhiker??

wow is that thing a danger to keep dude that is huge i didnt think any of them get that big

 

Yes, that puppy is parasitic. See the hooks on it's legs. That's to hold on (and hold on tightly) while it sucks blood.

 

if that thing was in my tank my wife would move out.

 

wierd...

that picture makes me feel like i'm going to throw up, lol

 

ha i wonder what she does when she sees spiders.
man i think if anybody seen that on thierr fish they would have a heart attack def if it was that big :-X:-X

 

Some harmless chitons can get that big too.

I have been with sooooo many dangerous animals in my life it's crazy. It truly doesn't faze me. Sharks, wolves, bears, etc.

The only 2 animals that freak me out are Humboldt Squid (they are freakin' smart and operate as a team like the raptors in Jurassic Park) and Sea Spiders (pycnogonids). You haven't seen anything until you watch one run across your LR at 90 MPH and jump on one of your favorite fish.

 

That picture makes me want to setup a species tank...hahaha

Sounds like an amphipod. Pill bug or rolley polley is probably the best description of them. My friend will has 5-7 in his overflow box we just recently sucked out with a turkey baster.

 

dude a sea spider what the heck is that

 

I think I came up with new name for my girlfriend when she gets real nasty and mad at me...."You know what you giant isopod, just go to hell" haha. The other words get too overplayed ...

 

sea spiders sound cool... I want one now! lol
