I have a newly setup 90g system, w/ only a few snails, hermit crabs, and an emerald crab in there at the moment (no fish).
Last night I purchased my first fish which is in my quarantine tank now. While I was acclimating some coral that I also bought I noticed this bug on the glass in my display eating algae:
Can you ID it, is it the "bad" kind, and what steps do I take to get rid of it (if needed)?
The eyes are really small, has antanae, legs, was definitely eating algae off the glass, and it looks like it may have "tail appendages", or at least 2 longer rear legs, like the Sphaeromatids in the Cirolanid/Sphaeromatids comparison picture here
