I have since removed many, nmany and they are def. sea spiders in the pic above that clkwrk posted. im dipping everything going in my tanks now on. I have seen results of these spiders and its real. i say this to anyone who might be skeptical. Very hard to remove with tweezers and no chance with turkey baster. must dip. I plan to dip all corals at same time at night when they move out on the corals.

I know they're tiny, but how large do they get? Can it bite a human?

no...........


As a Side note I have seen these on new stuff going to some LFS's near me . They hitched a ride on some danae.

I very sure there in more tanks than you here about. There so hard to see sometimes. Very very thin legs. I havnt started stocking my tanks for my Aqua company yet. Good thing! I will be breaking this tank down for the move. Ill dip evry coral with tmpcc and relocate to quarintine. These sizes will be easier to dip and inspect. GOOD REASON TO DIP YOUR CORALS WITH SOME PRODUCT BEFORE PLACING IN YOUR PRIZED REEF!
