Yesterday while harvesting macro algae, I noticed this guy in the bottom of the bowl I put the Macro in. This is a screen shot from a video, but it’s quite fast (could travel from one end of the bowl to the other in 30 seconds or so), about the size of a grain of rice, maybe a little smaller (large amphipod for scale), it’s green with a white strip on its collar. Anyway, it’s not a hitchhiker I’ve seen before and haven’t been able to ID it on google.

Probably living off of your macros, Taylors have white on them, they live off the micro algae on macros. Could be a sapsucker, they live off of the internal "sap" off of something like cheato. I have a little 3 gallon always set up for when Nudi's come in on something. lots O fun.
