    Hopefully, that was the only one in there! I'd be terrified to put my hands in the tank if I had one of those suckers in there, parasitic or not! :)

    I used to get nervous puttin my hands in my tank due to the unknowing of these critters.. I grabbed a hold of a fire worm in my first salt water tank that was a lil eye opener...

    Hrm, I still don't quite see a match there. I suppose I'm not seeing the huge eyes.

    You have got to understand how many species, sub-species, and every little critter out there that is not yet known to us. Who knows, you could have something we have never seen before. Like said before, when in doubt, toss it out. It truly is better to be safe, plus that one looks bad a$$. I would not trust it.

    Well that's about it, get rid of it unless you are sure its safe and I wasnt at least it was easy to catch, only prob is you have to check in the middle of the night. Its actually quite amazing what goes on during the hours of darkness I have seen some amazing stuff late at night!

    I'm a when in doubt, isolate and observe. I guess we all have our different mantras
