    last night I was looking at my tank with a flashlight and found something that I did not know what it was. I thought it was a mantis shrimp, but Geek said that it was more likely an Isopod.

    Since I did not know anything about Isopods, I hit the net looking for info. I found this article that I thought I would post in case anybody else is interested in these little creatures. Looks like they can be benign or can cause great havoc depending on what type of isopod you have. I am saying mine is very benign ;D
