Hi guys,

Today I just fed a bit my corals and I found what it looks like a little crab living in one of my poccilopora.

Is this an SPS crab?

It was difficult to photograph him.

His claws look red. I live in Australia and this poccilopora was likely collected here.

I did take a short video but is not working to post here.
Are they good reef critters? He looks very cute haha.
