Ok I was going thru my algae holding system and have found some very interesting things. This tank is extremely basic and it has no flow, a single spotlight for the algae, a DSB, and a few pieces of liverock all on a 20 long.

The first thing I noticed was what looked to be a pink nudibranch on a rock. The second thing I found was a bristleworm like creature. It is about a centimeter wide but only an inch long. It was crawling up the side of the tank. The 3rd oddity was a large hermit crab that had ditched it's shell and was walking around. I tried giving it a larger shell however it never took to it.

Seems fine without a shell

maybe the hermit was having problems at home so he moved out.
