Default New Polyps

Check these out guys. I have been negelecting my tank for the last couple weeks, while I've been building my 100 Gallon tank. Its almost done. Well over the last couple weeks I have been doing normal maintainance and 2 tangs died in the process im assuming to ich. HAHA-maybe not. talk about this later. Well it ties into the Polyps. As I came home from work today I noticed that my light had not been turned on (my wife "forgot" before she left for work) so I turned it on. I saw a swift movement in the bethnic area, back part of the tank (I think thats what its called). As I investigated, I found a small crab the same color as the sand, a little bigger then a quarter size. I went to grab my tongues and bam he was gone. A couple of hours later, and trying to come up with a plan I went back to the area wher he was at and found him going into a whole in the rock he was on. I made a move, grabbed the rock, as I was pulling it out he fellinto my overflow and was suckinto the prefilter, WHEW, got him. Anyways after I moved the rock BAM a pod of a bout 12 POLYPS, and after looking some more I found even more on another rock. I also found a baby anemone that I dont think (pretty sure its notan aiptasia) check em out. Well after thinkin about it, I think that little crab may have had something to with the death of 2 tangs an wrasse. here the pics. The polyps on the second rock are very hard to see, bad lighting sry guys. Can anyone identify that anemonenew-polyps-new-polyps.jpg
