Check this hitchhiker out

Stuck in intake on my eshopps skimmer pump, lol

Must have came in from the sand I took from the beach the other day and dumped in my fuge, or was one of the babies I had in there a few months ago that grew up.

Ya I unplugged the pump and it went swimming off. Now I’m scared to put my fingers in the fuge I have a bunch of sand and rock in there. So it can hide and burrow easily
