    Ok so I noticed this small (1/4") size creature that I only see at night. It has a number of small tentacles maybe 8 to 10. Its always in the same area, maybe moves in a 2" radius. Sorry the pictures suck, the first is with no tank light and a horrible flash (best I could do). In this pic its the little brown thing near my live rock. The 2nd is with the tank lights on, in the same spot but almost translucent in the light. [​IMG]. [​IMG]

    I have no idea of what you are trying to take a picture of. Turn off the flash, since it glares off the glass. All cameras have an option for manual (EXP) exposure, it normally will be set to 0, increase it til you get a clear picture, try 3. What this does is that it increases the time the shutter states open to gather more light. Just try to keep the camera steady or it will be very blurry.

    It looks like a sea spider. If I remember right they are not reef safe.
