okay .. i dont have ANY IDEA what this could be... i couldnt get a good picture so i am going to describe it

looks like a spider... accept, i couldnt see a head.. it was just all legs.. almost identical to that of a hermit crab but without the feelers and claws i guess you could say... it is weird .. any ideaS?? oh and it was black and brown colored?

Could be a spider. Just google up "sea spider" and look around, there are some small ones that look like crabs, there are some images here on RC but danged if I can find them right now

sounds like a sea spider to me as well. take a look here http://melevsreef.com/id/pycnogonid.html . and you want to remove it ASAP. and be careful when you do!
