Fish with silver eyes??

[cbrsorlo]

I found something in my tank tonight with the lights off and only the LED on. This looks like a fish (fresh water minnow body) or eel looking that has a transparent body with silver metallic eyes and a silver belly. Does anyone know what this is? looks like his skin is transparent with a black skeleton. btw this scared the crap outta me... I tried taking pictures but it didnt come out good and right now i managed to catch him in a net.

is it a saltwater fish that looks like a fresh water fish? A picture would work wonders - even a bad pic is better help then no pict.

So if you caught it take a good picture of him.

sounds like you got a cool hitchhiker in some live rock.
I've read about this before, a little fish in the rock survives
the shipping somehow.

This is the culprit. I hope it is fine having that fish.

was it abut a inch long? could be lanclet fish or something like that.. i had 2 show up in my tank after dark and then never saw them again. i did some research and it said that no one has successfully kept them in captivity and they live in the sand. i will try to get a picture.

Very cool. I love looking at my tank in the middle of the night. So much to see. Like the others have said, please get a pic for us, even if it's not that good.

Is that one of those cucumber butt fish? I have often wondered for those who believe in reincarnation, what on earth u had to do to come back as a fish that lives in the butt of a sea cucumber?????? Just think about it lol.
