Size and on one of them the "chain" is not fully formed.

I'll take some pics tomorrow, don't know how sucessful i'll be since they're still shy.

I think I had one that didn't have the "chain" which was the loner for awhile, now they all have the chain and I saw a massive one today at City pets that was the size of a small clown loach but it had perfect "chain".

Now that one is NOT a sidthimunki at CP.

It looked exactly like it but it was close to 2.75"

Hey Ryan, I stopped by and checked them out and they are in fact sidthimunki's. There was some that were coloring up and filling in the chain part.

most of them look exactly like how mine did when I got them and now all of mine have full chains on them.

I did notice there was some with Ich though...

I didn't notice the ich until i brought them home and put it into the tank.  Do you know if ich will clear up by itself w/o treatment?

I have perfect water quality.

Most of my tanks I don't do much other then wait it out or raise the temp....salt if you can but that won't fly in an invert tank.

Here's a pic of the bugger.  I had to catch one since it won't hold still for the camera.

I've seen a couple of dead crs's fresh shell since these have been in the tank.  Do you think they're the culprit?  The mouth seems so small to be able to eat a cherry.

On another note, I may have some small manzita for your nano tank Q. if you're still in need.

It looks like a sidthimunki to mee....

I have mine with my CRS and there are babies swimming around the tank with out being harassed...other then feeding time that is but more playful then anything.

Went by today to see if I can get more.  All of them were flashing so i didn't get any until these are treated.
