I found this tiny crab in my reef tank burrowed in my donut coral. The donut coral doesn't seem like a type of scoly though if that matters. It burrowed into the skeletal part of the coral not the flesh.

The crab is about the size of 1-2 pinheads


Sorry about the quality. I was using my phone

Xanthidae crab?
