Ok, I'm gonna pull a newb here and post a really vague description with no pictures because I haven't a camera to take a pic of this little thing. I've gone through so many of the hitchhiker thread posts but there's 100 pages. I'll eventually dig through that thread but it's a lot to go through.
I picked up a nice birds nest coral today and acclimated it and added CoralRX for 20 minutes. Rinsed in fresh SW and didn't see anything. Once I get it in the tank, I notice something moving on it. I want to say it's a crab but the 2 appendages you can see that might be claws look more like scythes than claws. I could see it bringing them to what I assume is it's mouth but the body is the same color as the coral and you really can't see the body.
I'm thinking crab still but it doesn't look like the claws have the pincher part on the claw. The coral also had a feather duster growing near the top. It also has 2 bivalves attached to it as well.
I'd forgotten how fast feather dusters can disappeaer into their tubes!
My tank is a couple months old and I'm slowly adding bioload. I got the birdsnest and a montipora digitata today. These are my first SPS that have digits. Have a couple monti caps as well. Then have zoanthids and a couple blue mushrooms. I'm really enjoying getting back into this hobby and exploring the SW side of it. But good grief my wallet is starting to hurt!
