I got an order from reefs2go.com today and found these guys in the chaetop (crab) and the pod pack (bugs). The bugs remind me of pill bugs/rolly pollies that are in gardens (round, oval shape, roll up). The face of these bugs reminds me also of the crustacean that attaches itself to fish tongues and takes over the tongue for the fish. The crab is lightly striped, has 1 large claw and it has white tips. I can take more photos/videos if neccesary, right now these guys are sitting in shot glasses of the water they came in. My tank is a fish and inverts tank, NO CORALS, but I will have clams. Please help!
