    So, once again looking around in the tank in the little holes in the LR.. Now I'm used to seeing different pods and such and they dont startle me anymore but now there is some tiny creatures with eyes looking back at me, I only have pairs of fish, not crabs or shrimp so I dont know wth it is unless maybe some of the live brine I was feeding my last sixline are still alive and breeding in there?

    total body size is probably around 1/4" their tiny, dont think their mantis' cause there is multiples and the fact their so freakin small, look like brine from the glimpses I can get but thats the deal, seems I get about 3-5 seconds to look at them in the light then it's off to another rock to look for more cause they disappear down deeper into the crevices
