    The legs and body are a lot closer on this one but it was white. The legs weren't as long as the Black Widow and he had a set of pinchers on the side of his mouth. I'll look again to see if I can find one that looks a little closer to what I saw.

    I hope it isn't full of them either. I hate spiders....maybe I could just throw the rock away or leave it outside for a few weeks hoping they will die on their own. But we still think the big one is loose in the tank so I'll have to deal with that after Easter Lunch at the in-laws tomorrow.

    The body on this one is really close and so are the legs, the pinchers looked like the one in the first photo I posted. Don't remember seeing eyes or nose on the one in the tank.
