Found in a filter pad when rinsing during water change. 4 corals and two fish. Tank is not very old.

Doesn't look like a critter I've ever seen. Possibly a house bug that fell in your water and died and got trapped in your filter pad? I've had that before with those pesky box elder bugs. #reefsquad @KJ

I'm thinking a house Bug of some sort too.

That was the first thought in my head. With the exception of one of those back legs looks paddle like. Started with liverock?

Okay. Thank you guys. I thought the same. Kinda looked like a puncher but just making sure. It was dead by the way

I was thinking cockroach

Most likely a pincher bug is what I thought

 

[BootyPup]

Man, I have no clue but what I can tell you is, dead or alive, I would never have picked it up XD

 

[mike werner]

beetle for sure.livin in md i get stink bugs in the tank all the time. probably no need for the orkin man

 

[Maritimer]

Not a mantis.

Given it's dead, probably an insect from somewhere else in your house. If it were alive, I'd have suggested some kind of isopod. A photo of the bottom of the thing would help to confirm.

looks like a bug called the "silver fish" usually found in damp locations around your house..

I am with the house bug thought. Keep on the look out though! If they pop up more it may be a weird little bug..
