So I just discovered this little creepy guy in my tank today... Bit of a sinking feeling watching him literally chew through some of my zoanthids. However I suspect he's been responsible for my lack of zoa success for quite some time now, and possibly for the death of a few fish... however this remains to be seen once I figure out what he is and get him the hell out.
Any help ID-ing? Kind of looks like some kind of mantis to me, but I don't have much experience with this kind of thing. Sorry the photos were the best I could take considering this rock was all the way at the back of the tank. He made a loud clicking noise akin to a pistol shrimp as he imploded my zoanthids and ate their insides.
Thanks in advance...
