Crab with neon pink?

[PTXReef]

I dip all my corals that go into my system pretty well... how did this guy come through??

Any ideas on what it is? It has bright neon pink spots!

Bump. The coloration reminds me of a harlequin shrimp. Very interested in finding out what this is.

Maybe a pompom crab? The anemones it holds might have gotten killed by the dip if it ever had them

The crab looked semi crushed by something before I removed it from the mushroom it was grabbing on to so the little guy probably won't make it... didn't see any pom poms (or claws rather) on him . He looks pretty cool tho (and nems were never dipped).

Gall crab.

Gall crab.

That's exactly it! He was hugging onto an orange discosoma and I thought it was mesenterial filaments are first . Thanks for the ID!
