To be honest tho- it looks more like a bug than a crab to me. Did it have a pair of claws? If it is a zoa spider that is very bad news. From what I understand they lay their eggs in living zoa polyps- making them exceedingly difficult to eradicate once established in a tank.

Haha. I gotcha. I've had numerous hitchihiker crabs over the years. From my experience- fuzzy crabs tend to be the bad guys while smooth shells tend to be pretty mild mannered citizens.

Honestly, if it's as teeny tiny as it appears in the picture and you have any wild collected SPS I would guess it's some kind of Acro Trapezia Crab. Those crabs are a MASSIVE boon to sps. They really do a lot of good for fragile or finicky sps corals.

That looks like a tick. Maybe a Zoa spider. Never seen one before.. good call, probably nothing good

OK thank u I just got a HOB skimmer and it sends out micro bubbles in to my tank like crazy

It might be better if you look through some photos here http://chucksaddiction.thefishestate.net/hitchhikers.html

I had mag at 1600+ before and didn't really seem to hurt anything to bad. Never had cal. that high but did have it just above 500.  What type of salt are you using?  I had been using red sea coral plus which had high elevated levels of mag cal and alk which was causing swings everytime i did a water change. I couldn't figure out why my mag and cal kept climbing up till i tested the water i was using for water changes, mag was over 1600 and cal was over 500. Switched salts to aquaforest which mixes a little below my goal on all parameters and i just use a little 2 part to raise to desired level. I also Started dosing 2 part with a dosing pump at the same time and my water parameters have been very steady ever since.  Test the water you are using for your water changes and make slow adjustments till you find a sweet spot.  

Ok so I came home tonight to a tank that I had covered with a blanket thinking it may have been a alge thang not any better so I tested and came up with
Apia tests of
7.8 ph
.25 or .00 ammonia hard to tell
0 nitrite
0 nitrate
0 phosphate

And with red sea tests of
9.8 kh
About 650 calcium wow is that to high
1600 mag. Is that to high
1.025 salinity

So I did about a 40% wc and it looks better but I still don't have high hopes I fill like I have been kicked in the u know what I that I could do this I have been keeping fresh water for years

Hallo everyone iam located in monmouth and just trying to get in to the hobby of reef keeping and I have had a 40 breeder up and running for about six months and all was going well for awhile but now I have made some kinda mistake and my tank is not looking good and am starting to lose corals iam wondering if anyone that has some experience in the hobby and is located in monmouth wold be willing to meet me and come take a look at my tank to give me some advice on what I should do or what might be happening anyway all my tests come out good so iam not shere what's going on

Just keep an eye on things, they may just perk up one things stabilize, especially if parameters fall into place.

Sudden changes usually makes for unhappy corals, test your parameters and just make sure they are all in check. When making changes, even for the better, try and do it slowly. Hopefully the "stringy stuff" isn't expelled zooxanthellae.

I don't have any and my lights are off so I can get some in the morning I think what may have happened is I did a water change and raised my serenity and thay did not like it
