Ok, there is no way to take a pic so I will describe what I saw. After removing all the live rock and setting it in buckets, I noticed something swimming in the left over puddles. It looked like brine shrimp at first, so, I grabbed my baster and suck it up and squirted it into the tank, it looked very different from brine. It had weird looking legs when it got to the rocks but swam like any shrimp like thing would. It looked kind of mean just by looks, does anyone have any idea what I am talking about here? LoL, I am just hoping one person will, just wanting to make sure it isn't something that attaches itself to fish. If you think you might know, please submit a pic so that I can compare. thanks again! mike
