I'm glad I waited so long before specifically looking for scary night time creepy crawlies otherwise I'd probably be REALLY afraid of my tank about now :worried: :eek2:
These pod like things are HUGE!!! Even bigger than the ones I was wondering about before. I hope they aren't evil :uzi::uzi:

And look at this worm w/it's glowing "eye". My hubby said it was still going back into the rockwork and it's probably at least 4" long. There's also a yellow/black striped pod just to the left of the worm. :(

That's all I was able to catch so far.

Those all look like amphipods (plus a bristle worm) to me, and are fine to have, if so.

Thanks. I tried to get some more photos, but it's really hard. We were looking through a pumpkin candle holder....darkish orange/red in color. We don't have anything on hand that would make the light red. Some things would scatter, but others wouldn't scatter/run unless the light stream was directly on them.

There was this crazy skinny thing about an inch long and swam like a knife fish, but with the fluttery fin on both sides. It was crazy. The light scared it and it got sucked up by the power head :( Hopefully since it was so tiny it didn't chop it up and it'll be in there for me to try to video/photograph later.

I found this guy after adding a small amount of live rock, sadly he didn't make it tho cause some live rock fell on him :(
