Any thoughts on what this guy is? He's very large about 1-1&1/2 inch diameter. He seems to be a model citizen so far, just foraging for food. He hitchhiked in on some live rock about 2 months ago.

No I don't - he's hiding at the moment. He's a very solid, deep red color across his entire body and he has hair legs.

Awesome!! That is definitely it. I haven't fed him anything directly. What would you recommend? Silversides and/or shrimp?

Feeding I don`t think will be necessary because I had a green one and he he developed a taste for sps`s , so just keep an eye on him ;) sometimes they can be a good clean up crew or they can be a pain in the butt!:eek:

If you have some sort of pellet food, he'd appreciate one every now and again. Otherwise, some nori or something green like that. They're opportunistic and will only go rogue in an aquarium that doesn't have enough food. So feed occasionally and don't worry about a little algae.
