    I know this is either really good or really bad.
    Doesn't look like a red bug to me. There are 2 of them on this soft frag.
    Please tell me what it is!

    A pod...I think it's alive. is that good or bad? I'm just trying to figure out if I should turn around and take the frag back.

    Looks like a baby bristle worm. In my mind not a bad thing but a good thing.

    Other may think differently

    I was thinking it was a broken piece of a bristleworm or a leg of a bristle starfish. Either way I second above, nothing to really worry about. Just add it to your tank and it will become part of the CUC.

    googled it. The camera cant pick up what I see with my nerd glasses but it totally looks like a tiny one of these. Has little fur-like legs.
