Found something weird..
 
Its white and almost looked like some sort of shrimp or lobster but It looked like its head was chopped off.I took some pics but the pixel is too large to post....Can anyone make sense of what I am trying to say?About the white thing not the camera...And yes it is alive well until I threw it out.It had a what looked like a lobster tail with little legs it didnt have big claws on the front though.

If it is a baby mantis, I'd be more concerned about what bit it's head off. :eek:

Chad 06-27-2005 04:27 PM

well didn't he say it was alive at the time? I think it just looks like there is no head.

geopod 06-28-2005 12:15 AM

yes it was alive.Doesnt anyone know what it is?

Funky_Fish14 06-28-2005 12:21 AM

George, that thing was in the tank you got from me right?

It was alive?! I thought that thing died like, MONTHS ago! Hadnt seen it move. Its a weird thing I found it crawling along the side on some rock or algae or something and It was comming to the top of the tank so I knocked it back to the bottom.....thought it was dead a long time ago.

Did it have a head when you saw it???

Murminator 06-28-2005 12:33 AM

It almost looks like a tick simlar to a deer or wood tick. Is there a type of marine tick? or marine flea?

I yahoo'd it and never found anything interesting

geopod 06-28-2005 01:45 AM

Murry,

This thing actually looked like part lobster(tail)but never had a head.And yes Chris it came from you.I found it in the tank....Man the thing is uuuuggggglllllyyyyy.I shouldve fed it to the cat...hmmmmnaw then the wife wouldve got really mad then.Atleast it wouldve taken her mind off of me spending more money again...hehehe

Funky_Fish14 06-28-2005 03:00 AM

LOL.

Christy, No it did not have a head when I had it, looked exactly the same. Lol. Weird thing. i found it......maybe 3-4 months ago.....its been living about 2-3 months in that tank unheated...with just water circulating and occasionally a 10W screw-in PC turned on. For a little while there was nothing but sand in it but I slowly added more sand then eventually a piece of LR.....then george got it. No idea what it is, and I always thought it was dead lol.
