Its a micro brittle starI found this critter in my tank hanging out on a Lepo i dont have zoas in the tank currently i removed them prior to finding them i inspected the frags of zoas i have in my other tanks but nothing out of the ordinary found i say i think its a zoa spider since im not aware of anything else similar
nah its not a starfish I had a video of it crawling around the rock but for some reason it will not let me post the video it moves just like a normal land spider In the picture I have posted it was extremely injured since I took a turkey baster to it and suck it off of a rock I had found it on my left toe but it would run from the light until one night I finally got it out
yes i agree i have only found one ive been monitoring for spiders ever since ive seen it, i wanted to give the frag a good dip but with it encrusted onto a rock it’s difficult
A pic I pulled off the internet
After fishguy242 stated that I looked them up. Never realized there was monti spiders. Learn new things everyday. Will they go after zoas as well?Montipora spiders?
So I went to a LFS today to get some new stuff and ended up picking out a nice looking orange digi frag. The guy working there pulls it up and notices something moving on it and shows them to me.... a bunch of sea spiders running around on the frag.... Now he's knowledgeable and experienced.... a...www.nano-reef.com
check this link out the spider this reefer had found looks identical to mine
there definitely some strange critters to find i honestly dont know anything about them i didnt find any on my zoas though and it only hung out at one lepo, like clockwork as the lights went out it came out i havent seen any since but i figured id share my find

Zoa spider:
This is another version:
As my rule is:
Just tossing it out there. The neighbor kid stuck a black widow spider in a water bottle, filled it up to the top and closed the lid. He left it outside for about two weeks in the sun. I opened the bottle and the spider came crawling out.. just FYI.
