Well I got some great rubble rock at Jeff's Exotic fish. Along with all the great mushrooms and polyps that came on the rock I also found these.

The shrimp is about 1 inc from head to tail. I first assumed it was a mantis but the eyes don't look the same(not on stalks), the arms don't curl in when not in use and it is not particularly quick moving or stealth like other mantis I have dealt with. It spent most of the afternoon moving some sand in the front of my tank next to the glass. it also apeared to be eating little bits from the sand bed.
This guy is in a tank with mostly star polyps, a candycane coral 1 emrald crab and 1 old hitchhiker crab.
The "THING" was on a piece of the rubble I put in my house tank. I assumed it was a sponge. It started larger and more red/pink/orange. It has tenicals that sway in the currant, as well as sticky arm like things holding onto the rock and now glass. It is very slow moving, only a few inches in 2weeks. but it is now atached to the glass and seems to be climbing up it. What is it?
