Xenia Swimming Crab

These stay small (reportedly about 1"/2.5 cm), live in xeniid corals (though they've reportedly been found on Pocillopora [both live and dead], Stylophora [only dead], and Acropora [only live] corals before too; it's uncertain if these corals had xeniid corals growing on/near them or not),* and it's thought (but not confirmed) that they feed on their host coral's tissue.**
