+1 for the chiton's. Ive had adult ones and they look almost identical.

Awesome thank guys. Appreciate it

Those are some OUTSTANDING pictures for requesting an ID. Generally it's a blurry picture with 20 different things in with no indication as to what the requester is looking at :) These are a big step up though in terms of quality.

Haha thanks. I was actually quite suprised how well they turned out myself. Not bad for an iphone and a microscope :biggrin:

Koodos on the quality pics! I was thinking Chiton at first too but a few things kept standing out. It looks too transparent to be one, it looks like it has appendages at the rear making it more agile, and also may have a separate head and even legs?

The closest thing I could find is called a Sphaeroma Quoianum, a type of Isopod...

Try having a look at these, they may be your critter

Wow very similar indeed. Its hard to say it almost looks like those. From the info I could find though they appear to be harmless. However I'm picking up a melanarus wrasse this week, so that should help take care of any excess bugs. Thanks for the info. I appreciate it

Kinda looks like its a baby size of this creature I found attached to rocks by the beaches of Riviera Maya when I went last yr. it was for sure alive but I was scared to even think of what it could be. Size of my thumb.

Awesome pic! I think those are the chitons that kien and kraken had mentioned. Its either that or the last one lol. Hard to say really. I don't think either is really a threat to my tank though. thanks for the cool pic
