I noticed my frogspawn was not extending and found this crustacean nested firmly in its head. I removed it with tongs and the little bugger did not want to let go!

It looks sorta like a gall crab, not sure.

Sorry if the pics aren't clear enough.

Any insight appreciated!

Does it have actual claws? Hard to see in picture provided.
Here are some better pics, I don't notice any claws. It's legs are pretty uniform.
