    Could be anything to be honest, im guessing a Mantis would be the culprit.

    But then you could have a Jawfish or garden eel (you would see these though).

    Im with Ian on this one get yourself a red light tourch and watch the tank after lights out.

    You got a Macro setting on that camera of yours?

    Also try pressing the shutter button half way to re-autofocus the shot
    .
    kids, if you drive down the road with your windows open, music blaring and you think you look cool.....

    Just remember, everybody looking at you is thinking "what a pratt" and laughing at you.

    had a look this morning at my guest by torchlight and its one weird animal.what i thought was a white sectioned body about 1" with feelers was poking out of the tunnel,then to my amazement the body started to empty grains of sand out of its body leaving a transcluscent tube which disappeared back into the tunnel,wierd or what:confused:

    plus two new pebbles have been placed on top of the tunnel,got me stumped
