Found this this morning. I don’t know what it is or what it can do. Right now all I have is dry rock live sand and a few corals that were dipped. Tank started Mar 1 been rip cleaned in July.

Looks like an isopod to me (Technical term for rolly polly lol). There are many species of them, and I don't have much knowledge in id'ing them. I believe there are a few wrasses who eat them.

This is the first I seen in my tank. I assume if there is one there will be more. Might have to look into a wrasse after all. Thank you!
 
+1 for isopod, and it look like female.

You can check and this post about the isopods : Reef2Reef

Thank you all. I got rid of it understanding that some may go after my fish. I am curious how it got in the tank.
