Hello, after about six months I’ve been discovering new creatures coming about of TBS live rock. Last week, the community helped identify a porcelain crab — which has now been displaced by a crab with mean looking claws. It’s more red than other pics of gorilla crabs I’ve seen. Could it be a red mithrax?
These are the best photos I could get under regular lights. The crab tossed a hermit crab off the Goni frag (which lays to the left of the frag). I tried to catch it but it scurried away.
Also, i came home from a long weekend to a couple of transparent oblong bugs(???) scurrying across the glass. It’s surrounded by several legs and antennae at the front that sweep in and out. These were the best pics I could get and only under blue light. The white specks on the glass are copepods from Algae Barn I tossed in last week.
Thanks for the help.
