Wassup Reefers, found this tiny orange legged crab hosting in my elegance coral today. Anyone have any idea what it is or if it’s bad for the corals health??
Thanks in advance!

If bright orange, I want some.
Hi. Just posted my own thread on an extraction I did tonight so thought I would respond to your post since nobody ID's it for you. You have a Gall crab there. Mixed thoughts but general consensus is that you should try remove it safely if you haven't already done so a few months back. They can burrow into hard coral or flesh and irritate corals. I removed one from a brain coral but the brain died shortly. I'm definitely no surgeon. YouTube had quite a few videos on how to extract. Good luck.
