I found this little guy sitting in my Hawkins Blue echinata this morning.
He is about a dime size and has a big black-tipped claw (claws before I lifted it out with tweezers.)
I wonder if he is a bad guy. The Hawkins Blue has lost some tissues. He might have been just cleaning the dead tissue.
I have been battling with slow tissue necrosis on some of my acro colonies lately. I dipped the corals and found no parasites. I suppose it's some sort of bacterial or viral infection although it's limited mainly to the right side of my tank so far.
I found my Koralia 4 powerhead on the right side of my tank dead the other day. This might have well been having a leakage current issue. My Powder Blue Tang was acting like he was having a mild seisure for a couple of weeks. I was wondering if he's gone bonkers.
I also found the guard on my 6 inch fan rusted. It blew some fine metal dust on the right hand side of the tank when I restarted it recently.
The crab was also on the Hawkins Blue located on the right hand side of the tank.
Too many things happening on the right hand side... Could the right side of my tank be haunted? Did I upset a reef god or goddess somehow?
