Is this a sea spider? Help ID

[makingbubbles]

Best shot i got. Found this booger chomping away at my brain maze coral. Thought it was a small crab at first but onece out of the tank it looked like the sea spiders i seen on other sites. has any one dealt with these little monsters? by the way it made a nice hole in my coral.
