After dipping my new Acros, I noticed this in the rinse bin. It's smaller than a tiny brittle star and is 'walking' around like a spider. Anyone know what it is? Thanks!

Appears to be a pycnogonid. Many of them are simple detritivores/predators on microfauna but some can harm corals like zoanthids.

Yep pycnogonid, sea spider.
