Has anyone ever found a crab living inside the mouth of a Euphyllia Glabrescens? The crab was about 1cm spanwidth, living deep inside the torch mouth. Only it's mouth sticked out. Noticed it by coincidence as I was fragging my 24k Gold torch. Not sure if it caused any damage but the coral was not looking too happy lately.

Did save the crab but he did not get removed fully intact. It's alive though.
 
Think I managed to ID it, it looks identical to a male Gall Crab.
