I just found this thing in my tank. Guess it came out of the live rock. Im not sure what it might be. I will have a pic up ASAP. I need to know if it is reef safe, or if it is gonna start munching on all my corals.

They won't hurt your corals, but keep them away from your fish!!

The dreaded coral cat! Be carefull, they are cute when they are small but quickly outgrow most home aquariums!

If your tank is full of water they won't last long. They prefer shallow reefs.

ahh the rare and wild south texas coral cat, reef safe, they are extremely deadly to fish though.
