    This guy caught a ride on the new live rock I bought for my 25g tank. I just want to make sure it's not a pest. Any ideas?

    I don't know if this will help solidify the identification but it seems to be predominantly nocturnal. Also it just recently moved (didn't know that they could do that, thought I was going crazy...) from direct light to a "shaded" spot.

    Haha, very true.

    It's the highlight of my developing (read:bare) tank with its super cool yellow and red tiger stripes. I'd hate to get rid of it but I'm paranoid about getting a pest anemone in my tank. Any other ideas about what it could be?
