Been keeping eye on Sgt's rock.. strange critters appearing. And trying to figure out what has happened to his emerald. Saw this few minutes ago.. still there hanging out of the rockwork.

not a bobbit.. bobbits have the "ring armor".. this is more scales with white stubby spikes..its shades of purple and white.. i THINK I can see long legs holding it down from top of hole its coming out of.. it really looks freaky

Wait, this looks kind of familiar. I'm going to guess (emphasis on guess) that it's a feather duster that dropped its crown and has no tube.

no id yet..we tried to tempt it out other night with a shrimp pellet but it retracted further in. We will figure this out..looks like its matter of patience.

Cant you take that rock out of tank and place a heater and powerhead in a bucket? just long enough to make it come out of the rock!

 

I still think its a crab(becuse of the shape of the arm, however the "CLAW" is abnormal for sure.
