I've recycled it, but I read an article in a 2007 Coral Mag where 1 of the scientists was diving while studying a large carpet nem somewhere near Malaysia. He was attacked by amphipods living on the nem. They swarmed up from the nem and went after all his exposed skin. If someone still has the mag, the front page was something to the effect of "The Demise of Nemo?" with a pic of a perc.

Just another thing to turn a person off about the ocean
As to these guys there was a story out of Indonesia a couple of years ago where local children were being bit and attacked by unknown creatures that left little holes in their bodies no cause was ever found. Could be these critters

Pretty cool but disturbing. Think twice before I let anymore pods into the tank.

Here is an actual video that the parent took from a sample of captured critters.... seems the blood would not coagulate with the pricked bites just like a leeches' bite.

Killer amphipods ?? Next we'll hear about some poor soul dragged down into a dark cave by a wild bristle worm.
