Anyone knows what this is? Bought a "Arrow Crab" 6 months ago from Live Aquaria and this showed up. Put it in my sump and called LA to complain. Never saw it again and figured it died.

Now, after almost 8 months I find this thing crawling around in my Display! what the heck!

Scooped it up and put it in the sump again and it spits up all these babies!!! Please let me know if you know what this is.

Sorry for the language...

Thanks

looks like a decorator to me
 
F NO! Thing looks like it should be in the Alien Vs Predator movies :oops:
They are fantastic little creatures, as long as you treat it like a member of the crew and keep it well fed (meaty foods) I think it can be a great addition. More likely than not he moved up to your display as a small juvenile and has been in there ever since only coming out now to spawn. If it hasn't hurt anything in that time I'd let it be and enjoy his weirdness.
 
I bet the one you put in your sump spawned and that’s the F1 generation you found in the display. I’ve always thought they were super cool (no I don’t want one). I don’t know if they will do any harm in your reef, but it looks like you will probably find out since it just released the F2 generation in your video. Chances are most of those larvae won’t make it, but I’m willing to bet you’ve already got more than one in there already! ;)
