After the recent red bug talk, I am more paranoid now than ever about what is alive in my tank.
I recently noticed a "new" resident in my tank. I know someone out there has to know what it is so I will give it a shot. After much searching on the internet to no avail, here it is
At first I thought it was a flat worm, but after close observation, it is a Crustacean of some sort. It is an excellent swimmer, doesn't like light, and seems to eat algae. The places where I see it after some time after lights out, is on the glass where I don't scrape. It's oval in shape, and pretty flat, and has several pairs of legs. Light color similar to my sand. The dark spot in the picture appears to be a stomach of some sort, visible from the underside when it is on the glass. Sorry for the picture quality, my camera doesn't do macro well.
