New creature in the tank this morning. Measures about 1/8 inch long and SUPER hard to get a good pic.

Trying. Need to rig up a way to waterproof camera/phone.

If you can grab the critter and take a pic that would work too. Pretty sure it's a chiton though.

I’ll try. I’m not a fan of handling the little guys, I’m a bit of a clumsy oaf and never want to risk killing anything that could be friendly.
