I'm going to chime in on the "not a hitch-hiker" theme. Any such deaths (crabs, mantis, bristleworm, etc) should be a predatory act, and should leave signs of that.
Red, puffy gills are a sign of a number of things I've never seen in my personal experience, including parasitic infection, introduced chemical irritants (including "hot" changewater, ammonia, chlorine, etc), overdosing with additives, heavy metals (unlikely here due to the relative effects on the inverts), bacterial infections, solvents (recent home renos, painting, etc?). If it just started happening, it is likely something you did, or your water supplier did.

Killer pods?
I remember reading a post about killer pods. Not sure if that could be it but from what I read they were incredibly nasty. Anyone remember where that link is?
It talked about a diver encountering them in the ocean and having his face attacked. Apparently they show up in aquariums on occasion. Good luck.

crab?
Hi,
We manage to take some much clearer picture. We thought its not that harmful. Can someone confirm it? Many thanks! ludwig Last edited by ludwig9393; 04-15-2008 at 02:44 AM.

Update: I thought I saw something with a bright blue head stick its mellon out of my new gsp rock last night. Plus I know I saw a bristle worm the day before. Firefish still missing.
Bottle trap weekend coming up. Any idea what has a bright turquoise blue head and lives in a rock? BTW my significant other is the one who found and dealt with the dead fish and shrimp and he told me last night he did not inspect them very well. Too sickened by the whole deal.

when i pulled out all my live rock a few days ago for aquascaping.... i was grossed out as to what came out of my rock. The rock had only been in there for 2 months and in that time i saw some huge massive flat pink worms that looked like centipedes crawling out the bottom of my rocks spanning out to over a foot in total length... was so gross......
On top of that, i pulled a black crab out 1/2 an inch long with pure red eyes... exactly like the one you listed. I remember there was a thread on canreef about this crab before and people advised that it was a good thing.. big beefy creb, red eyes... = no no ..... as they thought it was attacking there livestock. This particular one was eating a massive piece of squid i put in there for my predators. So if in doubt..... chuck it out..... so Martha 'Mad Dog' Mantis was introduced to him in my other tank.... i think they had fun together as there was lots of clicking that night.
