UFO??? Round 2

Ok, I tried to find my thread on this from last week but couldnt. I had a unidentified flying object harassing my emarald crab when I suddenly turned on the overhead light in my living room at 5:30 in the morning. It moved very fast from one end of the tank to the other.

Most said it was an Isopod, and after looking at pictures I agree. I tried to capture it with the food in the bottle trick. But no luck.

Today I saw something floating around in a low flow area in my tank and I pulled it out. I thought it was the shell of the creature, but after removing it and setting it up for pictures, it started moving.

I am thinking it is starving to death due to the lack of fish in my tank, I have none. And I wasnt going to get any until I was sure this crap was gone.

Not sure if this is the guy I saw that morning, because it isnt moving much and the thing I saw was all over the place, quick.

Heres a pic, hopefully this is the dieing Isopod and there are not any more.

I had a similar issue going on and finally got a wrasse. It seemed to really enjoy the isopods (at least the larger ones).
