At the time I took the original photos of the poop, there were no critters in the tank yet, just LR.

That is a rather large piece of fecal matter. I'm not sure what kind of hitchhiker it could be that would be big enough to leave that. Have you heard any popping sounds? Maybe the culprit could be a pistol shrimp or possibly even a mantis, but I'm not sure with poo that big.

There came a time where the pooh stopped appearing. It was after I added fish. I had completely forgotten about this until I moved everything to the new tank and found an even larger pooh laying on the sand one morning. I am still clueless as to what this can be, but I haven't lost any animals to it that I know of. One of the blue damsels that I had which eventually died had some visible damage around it's mouth the day before it died. I never really associated it with this mystery creature. I think the only way I will find this is to set up a night-scope camcorder or something.

This might be a stupid question, but are you sure that it is fecal matter and not a tube building worm?

I don't think so. When ever I would attempt to get the pooh out of the tank it would just disintegrate into the water. I'm pretty sure it's pooh.

So no popping sounds?
Good luck on figuring out what it is.

If you do happen to find it try and snap a pic. I'd like to know what it is.
