Upload your images to photobucket then use their IMG code to post them here. Can't give a proper ID without a picture.

hope this works

unfortunately I do not have the required eye sight to be able to see what it is we are trying to ID
Might want to try and get a closer image with camera in macro mode?

Hey Andy

not just my eyes then as Meisel1 cannot see it either

you say it shoots down a hole when you approach the tank
is it a hole or does it shoot down a thin tube?

can you try and describe what you saw?
did it seem to be a bug? try googling Amphipod ? see if you recognise it?
did it seem to be a bunch or crown of feathers, that rapidly retracted as you got close?

running out of ideas now
so come back with a bit more detail on what you saw, and someone may be able to offer a good educated guess based on that
