So one of the reasons I love/hate this hobby is unexpected surprises. I recently picked up my first trachyphyllia and when I put it in QT I noticed an odd sight, it looked like something was living inside a small hole! This coral did a 10 minute dip in CoralRx earlier that day so whatever it is survived that.
I was able to get some video and I think it's a gall crab.. maybe. Bear in mind this coral is 3-4 inches across, which means the hole this crab is in is about the size of a pencil eraser. Can anyone comment on what it is? Also if it's not hurting the coral I'd prefer not to kill it, does it pose any danger?
