isopod?




Or an amphipod:



amphipods can eat zoanthids if they are hungry.

Well I know I have an amphipod in that same area, maybe thats what she saw, cause at first she said it looked like a beetle, so isopod or amphipod in that case most likely. Then she said it looks like a grey centipede lol I dont think she knows what she's talking about half the time but hey do any of us?

I havent seen the critter, but If I do I will try to get a positive ID, thanks guys

I was thinking isopod too and the description matches the pest version. Hopefully not!

Could be a isopod. Google it to get a pic. To get them out put an uncooked shrimp in a small glass overnight. It worked for a buddy of mine. He did that for a few nights in a row and eventually they were all gone.
