Need A Quick ID on this Bug . Good or Bad?????????

[ds4x4]

Pulled from My 55 i have no idea what it is and can't find any pictures online.. It is tiny as you can see white and moves very slow kinda like a praying mantis

never seen it before- and in my book if i can't id it positively as something good - it gets flushed. Doesn't mean I know everything - I just don't have the luxury/time to keep all the weird critters in separate tanks (or sump).

does look like a spider - a frail thinner version of the pic though.

you have zoas in your tank now?

I agree Pycnogonida. Flush em. usually predatory on polyps

Yes i have some in there previously and most recently added a few other corals and zoas from Mr. but I know it didnt come from him it wasn't even close to where i put them

Ditto!

Get rid of it, and make sure there aren't any more of them.
