ID Help - Sea Spider?

Jxw6963 · Dec 24, 2025

Found this on a zoa frag plug, couple weeks after first dipped and put in the tank. It seems to already have died though, didn't move after I removed it

Any idea what it is, sea spider?

Looks more like a crab to me....

Yup. Sea Spider.

Ok, thanks. Hopefully this died in the dip and I just didnt get it off. And hopefully no others

Cool creatures, nightmare for Zoanthid.

Was wondering that at first but crabs normally have 8 legs plus 2 claws, this looks like it has 7 legs with one missing

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

It depends on how badly I want the fish

Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

I haven’t really considered this before

Something else (see my comments in the thread)
