Why is there a spider in my tank?
 

Well it might not be a spider but all I have seen of it are its legs and it looks exactly like a spider. It even moves like one. Judging by the size of its legs it is probably 3" across its leg span. I am going to try to get a pic now. Are there marine spiders? Either way it's creepy looking.

Oh I finally saw what I think is a bristle worm. It is about 10" long. It was just out roaming around. By the time I fumbled my camera out it was gone

Arrow Crab?

No its legs arn't as skinny. I just got a half decent look at it . It is definitly a crab of some sort. I'm going to try to figure out how to post some pics. Give me an hour or so:lol:

O.K. how do I post pics on here?

Since you have a photobucket account, you can probably link to them with IMG code

Also, I was sure there was a sticky written by someone, turns out it was me :)

However, my screenshots are missing, because my server died. See if the text helps out, but photobucket is probably your best choice...

Hey I put pics on my photobucket account. they are the first 2 pics. sorry about the completly un id-able pics but that is all I have seen of it.... untill tomorrow when it is coming out for inspection

Looks like a hairy legged crab. Are considered to be not reef safe. If you can catch it I would and put it in your sump,
