I have discovered what appears to be a parasitic/symbiotic crab living within one of my elegance corals.

It bares the resemblience to a tick or a spider, it has two upward facing hook like appendages where its mouth is, has 8 legs overall, and the legs are translucent as well as a strong fluorenscent orange.

The top carapice also resembles a tiki mask.

Welcome to R2R!
Look up gall crab and see if that matches your crab.
