I got a couple of new pieces of live rock in a container right now with what I've identified as (Cirolana harfordi).
It is a Cirolanid and info is very scarce but it's supposedly not harmful to fish and instead feeds on detritus and small crustaceans. Here's an old post with similar information about it: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/i-know-it’s-an-isopod-but.358988/#post-4452724
Here's a picture of one of the Isopods I took out of the rock:
Here's the thing though, is it worth it to risk it?
Any sure way to completely remove them? It's only 4 pounds and in a container. I was planning on using the rock to seed a new dry rock tank, so as long as I can use the bacteria I'm satisfied.
