Hitchhiker Help????
Ok so I know a picture is worth a thousand words, but I have tried everything and cant get a pic. It is about the size of a med-large spider. Looks like a spider, except its body is long and thin. I could sit this thing on top of a quarter. Its legs look like spider legs and are red and white. Please, any ideas???

Probably a sea spider.

they are generally harmless but some species will pick at certain corals. I typically remove them when I find them.
