big pod?

is this a cocepod? it's got to around a1/4inch! I've never seen a pod get this big. It's in a filter line with a shell is why the pic looks so weird.

 

amphipod perhaps?

 

That's huge!

I'd bet on amohipods too

 

Ahh, yes, it's a demon Amphipod. Overall, they're beneficial, but I don't like them.

 

what do they do that you don't like?

 

They used to mug my corals-especially the acans, but I had a population explosion of them. Normally they are fine. I still don't like them, though.

 

That's a creepy looking mofo but it may be the answer to my question yet unasked because I moved a shell last night and something of considerable size scurried across the sandbed.

 

The bigguns can get over 3/8" long.

 

Well considering the pods I'm used to it was considerable I just knew it wasn't a snail or hermit but it was trucking pretty good across there and it was big enough to catch my eye.
