Sure.. Show me pictures of monsters and then you want me to put my hands back in my tank???
It is currently between two panels, and not too keen to move. Tried coaxing it out, but it just moves further back. Will see what I can do during the eve...

that guy looks awefully like an isopod himself

Either filter feeders, or they grasp small pieces of detritus or small organisms.
Tube building or tunnel dwelling.
So where it is now, it will stay.

Thank you Riaan.
Now I do not have to bother to get better pics.. I dreaded putting my hands in there to get him out for better pics...
He will remain in the return chamber for the remainder of his days...
