Well, my CUC started disappearing (like really disappearing) about two weeks ago after I introduced some nice large pieces of live rock in my tank. The discarded snail shells were my first clues. I also started noticing burrows & shifted sand.

Well, I finally managed to spot the suspected hitchhiker. At first I thought it was a little horseshoe crab, but it looks more like an isopod (I’d say it’s just over 1” in length). Any ideas??
