Default IDs please on Mr. Fugly and nasty white thing please!
Found him on my acro, ugly little bugger, and creepy too. I was thinking he was an acro crab at first, but now I'm not so sure.

and

This seems to be stuck to the base of one of my other acro frags. It has a hard white shell and is constantly spewing threads out.


And on a side now, thanks to Muck I can finally post images on my own. Thanks!

Can't help on the first one, but the second one is a kind of "vermetid gastropod (snail)".

Neutral I suppose. Some say OK, some say not OK. They're supposed to be harmless, except some people don't like the threads they put out ("unsightly nuisance"). I generally let them be in my tank. There have been a few I've used a tweezer and picked off (and then thrown into the back rubble behind the rockwork).

small, probably about the size of your thumb nail from legs to legs. Hes about the same size of an acro crab.

Alright then, he is now living in a measuring cup floating in my 'fuge.

So what do I do with the little bugger? Would he be safe iin my 'fuge?
