Thanks for the reading Material. the pick was bang on as i havnt seen the body just the tentical but the pic matches perfectly.

Should i remove this ? the article states that it will eat my crustacians?

I'm pretty sure it means the smaller crustaceans, the ones you can't see and didn't buy

I personally would leave it alone because it is kind of a neat animal but by all means remove it if it will give you peace of mind

Well i guess i will let it be for now. my only concern really is that the tentitcles reach from one side of the tank to another almost.

I gues this is why i havent seen any pods for a while.

I have removed it ohnly to find another. oh well. but i did find that my tadstool green star polys and such that were in contact with this did NOT like it none of the polys extended while he was around touching things with its sweepers. IMO i recomend removing emediatly if you find any in your tank as the corals it contacted reacted very badly by shriviling up and never extending polyps.

Chaetopterid worm? Which are harmless, even good actually.

not a worm. see the link in the second post. my corals did not like this.
