I dipped a couple zoas tonight and saw this guy come off.

Toothpick is for size reference. It was still alive after a 10min dip in Bayer at a concentration of 10ml per 1/2 cup. So this guy was pretty resilient.

Any idea what it is? The head is near the toothpick. There are arms as well up there that were moving.

Looks like some sort of slug! The bad ones i've found do not eat zoas. But if youre not sure is best to keep out of your tank. Good job on video.
 
Definitely a crustacean of some sort. Possibly a Mysid shrimp, small Mantis shrimp, or a small Pistol shrimp based on the large chelipeds in the front.
 
Was the video supposed to be a 13 second snippet of a Persian cooking show? That's what I saw lol.

Did the dish look more appetizing than the isopod the OP posted? :tongue:

(I see an isopod!)

Haha it did!
I don't know a lot about Iranian cuisine, but it looks good. Plus a dog waves at the end, so that's a plus :)
