today found this idiot crawling out from one of my LR.... :angry:

quickly took the pincers to catch it...luckily very slow...... :lol:

I think there are more inside....did you 'killed' them when you first got your LR?

I soak my LR in very salty and high ammonia (bec many stuff died and rot inside) water for 3 days plus....and I siphon out almost a pail full of them! YET i still see some in my tank! :angry:

actually left my LR out to dry and most came crawling out but I guess theres more like you said. During cycling alot died though but guess these were one of the tougher ones around.... :(

thanks bro.Raymond...I was attracted to this particular piece and to tell you the truth it was rotting from the back due to the poor condition it was handled or kept in....but noticed the bare section is being occupied by the new growth now.... :D
