    Ok, A couple of days ago I posted about my Bad Crab.
    Last night while trying to spot him again, I found this.
    With the crab I was pretty sure of what it was, this I have no idea.
    Funny thing is, I've had a regular habit of watching my tank at night the last
    few years, and I've found the usuall hitchhikers, but 2 guys this big in one
    week is kind of amazing
    Bright white light didn't seem to bother it
    The zip file is a small video. quality isn't too bad considering it was compressed from a 200MB avi

    Think I have Id'd it

    Right after posting, I found a picture on wetwebmedia.com that has identical markings to what I have.
    It is a Chiton worm. reef safe unlike the crab

    LOL that must be one brave worm! I can't believe how many times you poked it and it didn't move an inch ;D

    It didn't move for a long time, and it was late and I was tired.
    I wasn't sure if my eyes were playing tricks on me, so I used the age old test for life... I poked it with a stick
