4 weeks of losing Zaoanthids and polyps and brain corals, ive come down to a group of suspects that are feasting an expensive meal. ive lost many corals and some often dissappear . but i have also come to find a little crab with no shell that i did not purchase and im wondering where he could have come from..i am needing your help to determine whos eating what from my aquarium please. Here is the line-up of the usual suspects:

I think that is a gorilla crab or something like that I had one in my first tank they hide in the live rock so it might have came in on a piece of rock
 
Ive been losing zoanthids lately to nudibranches. They are becoming a pain in my butt to track down. Getting tired of catching them. I think they are nibbling on the edges of a couple of my LPS too.
 
I had a gorilla crab that obviously came in on my live rock and I only noticed and trapped him like 5 years later. Never noticed him munching on my corals though.

Flatworm Exit worked for me. Strangely it didn't take care of the flatworms but did kill the zoa eating nudis.
