Hey everyone,

I've had some massive Acan death this week, and while no other dip worked, I got desperate and did a peroxide dip tonight, which dislodged the guy I'll post pics of here in a mine. I've never seen this in my tank, or any other frag which I've ever dipped.

First pic is 2 days after death started:

The is the 4th day after it started:

So I broke out the kids Toys-R-Us microscope and was able to get these pics through it using my cell. Can anyone identify this guy as friend or foe? These were taken under 150x magnification which is as low as it could go.

What I presume is the front end:

Thoughts anyone?

What does it look like to the naked eye? Ie, a "whole critter" picture.

Can't get a pic of it, it's too small. In order for me to get close enough to see it, my camera won't focus, I would need a macro lense to get it to come out.
