Always Something... ISOPODS

I forgot to mention that this thing was almost white or a transparent sort of white. My first thought when I saw it was a goby, but then I got concerned that it might be a really big isopod and I just didn't see its eyes. Yuck!

well that could be almost anything given that all you really said is size and fast moving.... sorry but w/o a body it's a total guess.

just look at the photos I linked a few posts back, the "BAD" ones are very distinktive when you do see them.

one other thing I can say is the good ones move with a kind of "hop" but the bad pods seem to move in very strait paths.
reminded me of how a roach will scram when the lights come on in a room that has them.

at 3/4 of an inch to an inch it could be a small mantis shrimp, a large pistol shimp, a crab, some other shrimp, a small goby fish
or some other thing...

Goby: tbs rock sometimes will have a small fish called a "tiger goby" they are often less than an inch long and are nearly transparent. they will hide most of the time and are hard to see even when they are out.
