Emerald Green Crab

So I have this emerald green that has taken a liking to this torch coral. He stays snug up against the head of it. I’ve noticed his legs now seem to be forming small white ball like objects. Are these sponges attaching themselves since he doesn’t move or stinging results from the torch or something else?

maybe he just likes sitting there? occasionally things will grow on a crab's exoskeleton, in this case it's pineapple sponges, most likely due to the fact he doesn't move around much.

that's what I thought and was hoping was the easy cause without some sort of other fungus issue. Thanks
