I had posted that I was certain the Chiton I posted was to blame for the loss of some livestock in my tank. Every morning I could see the tracks it had left of the glass & other areas. Seemed to be the blame to me. Considering it had also taken up "day" residence in a large Zoanthid encusted rock.
graveyardworm, thanks for not insisiting and allowing me to find out on my own! Looks like the Chiton will continue on in my tank!
This evening I was sitting in front the tank enjoying the view with my magnifying glass.. (do not tell me I am the only one guilty of this)
When I spotted what looked like a molt of a pycnogonid. No pics, I tried to suck it out with a baster... Next time I will remember to kill the filtration and flow! (sucked up into you know where) Still pretty sure that it was it was as I had a very good 5 min of observation.
Looks like I have bigger problem that I thought! The molt floater was dime sized.
I have only read about or seen pics of these, could use some help and more info about them! I assume this is the culprit?
The following picture is the one false accused! Poor guy.
