    I'd like to get rid of it but at the same time I'm pretty pro live and let live when it comes to my tank. It's a hard decision to make because at night when the fuge light comes on I kind of enjoy watching it stretch out and catch food. I've seen it eat pods and mysid that get sucked down there when I feed my LPS. And I've seen it do what I always assumed as eating phytoplankton/gunk that stick to it's tentacles.

    No worse than what I got this afternoon. I moved a rock of xenia to a different spot cause they are quickly getting out of hand. Later on I noticed they had fallen and were laying on my red cap. No time for a glove..stupid...just reached in and grabbed the rock. As I was repostitioning it something bit or stabbed my index finger, piercing well enough to draw blood and bleed for a good bit. It's not like I grabbed it and got stabbed by a jagged piece either. I had it in my fingertips for a good 30 seconds when it felt like someone stabbed it with a toothpick.
