Alright, a pretty long while ago, I saw some sort of creature I couldn't identifiy in my tank. It looked like an arthropod of some sort, and I was afraid it was a mantis shrimp. I noticed two burrows against the glass on the sandbed and I thought they were feather dusters. I found two of the little creatures in the burrows.
The burrows are "u" shaped and made from bits of sand. Each creature is less than half a centimeter long. They pretty much look like this blurry photo.
I haven't managed to get any new photos of it that aren't blurry. However, I think they may be this thing, which you can see here: http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/arthro...acostraca/royslist/species.php?name=g_affinis
Is that a pretty accurate id? Probably not lol.
I'll try to get better photos up, but the camera has a hard time finding what it wants to focus on with these things, even in macro mode.
