    found this little guy in my fuge and swiped him out into a bowl.


    he seems to move as if it was a spider, when i touch it, it shrivels up and pulls in all its legs..

    any ideas? harmful? harmless? dont risk it?

    Yes, definitely not something you want in your tank. Hopefully that is the only one.
