That makes sense, thank you. The one that was on the Acan was smaller than this chiton and I thought it looked different. Is it possible that it was a small bristle worm? i have a healthy population of them in this tank. At any rate, I’ll try to get a picture of the critter I initially saw.The picture seems to be of a limpet ot chiton (difficult to tell without seeing the top). The do not move quickly, so I doubt this is what you saw crawl off the acan. If you see more ( especially ones that are moving around), try to remove 1 or 2 from the tank and photograph them in a small container of water
I would guess an amphipod.That makes sense, thank you. The one that was on the Acan was smaller than this chiton and I thought it looked different.

Check the new picture out, its partially buried in the skeleton, has legs like a bristle worm but not exactly the same look and I’ve never seen one this small before. The amphipod completely dwarfed this thing.I would guess an amphipod.
No idea. Very possibly the end of a bristleworm.Check the new picture out, its partially buried in the skeleton, has legs like a bristle worm but not exactly the same look and I’ve never seen one this small before. The amphipod completely dwarfed this thing.
