Strawberry Crab ? and pods ?

[Randy]

This little guy showed up behind my a suction cup on one of my power heads.It looks like a Strawberry Crab from a search.Anyone have a guess?

This a cool little pod builds a tent like home on the side of the glass. Any guess?

He is traped between the glass and the suction cup for now.If he is a Strawberry Crab they are reef safe.

i've seen pods do that in a friends tank, just looked like normal pods to me.

I am assuming Alex was talking about my old 90 I had set up I never had any issues with them whatsoever. I had a few people come over who swore they were flat worms until they would see a pod run in/out of it.

yup, that was yours. just looked like a simple tent the pod hung out in. almost kinda like nests or something.

That is the ones at first glance you would think they was a flatworm until a pod crawed outof the inside.

it's hard to tell from the picture but there are red mithrax crabs as well.

Here is a better pic.I will do a search on the mithrax.I have seen them in the past but can't remember what they look like.

Well from what I found it is not a red mithrax.Here is a close match.Other than the claws.
