Here's a photo of what I initially thought was a lobster, then thought it was a nasty manits, found in our acro:

Turns out someone here ID-ed it as a harmless alpheid shrimp. It makes loud snapping noises when disturbed.

We actually do have a 1.5" bright orange lobster in our 42 gal that had been in our 7 gal for 7 months. Don't have any photos of the little guy as we only see him briefly when it's feeding time. Hadn't done any damage to corals or fish that I could tell in the time he was in the 7 gal. And in that tiny space, I'd have noticed any problems.

In the 42, I can't even find him anymore as there are numerous holes he could be using as his hideout.
