Lobo with hole in skeloton and creature inside

[ying yang]

Hi all,hope your well.

one my wrasse dive bombing sandbed then coming straight out the sand and him and his fishy friends eating all the micro fauna so decided last night to glue/epoxy to main rockwork sticking out in hope it grew new head on side facing upto the light, but weight of itself made it fall off,so with alot curse words and omg 's i managed to stick it down.
Just zoomed in on phone and seen a little black bug ( i think some kind if isopod i found on a gsp frag several weeks back) but then noticed a hole in the skeloton about 8- 10 mm by 2- 3 mm ,the hole is on a piece where i believe another head was attached at one point and lfs or someone used a bandsaw to seperate them,and noticed some tentacles sticking out hole and some mandibles like crabs have and seen the cleaning action of mandibles,now i dont know if me man handling it last night caused the hole or if this creature is parasitic and made hole itself, but then my problem is do i glue the hole shut with critter inside and it gets trapped and dies or eats another hole in skeloton or even eats through the flesh and lobo dies.so far lobo seems to be ok,fluffing up through day and feeding tenctacles out at night.

So my question is do amphipods have mandibles like crabs do as had quick look on google and cant seem to find info ( if kept looking i will eventually find but just want to find out what my options are,whether it a bad guy in there or just a simple ampripod and if hole in skeloton will be detrimental to lobo.
Im uploading videos as we speak,be about 1 hour before can share them.
Whatever it is it looks clear/transparent like an ampripod but cant see any of body,i can only see tentacles and mandibles.

There are types of reef crabs that live inside corals.
They make holes but if the coral is open and happy i wouldnt worry too much. Its a natural part of the reef.

Yeah you right and as it going inside the hole further when shine light on it.i reckon if tried catching it with tweezers it would just go in hole anyhow.
I just noticed on video 2 at exactly 1 minute it cleans itself and extends out hole a little more and can see its white and not transparent.
( for some reason i can only see my first post and your reply and not the other guys 1 hour ago and all the videos and other 3- 4 posts i made lol

And i just remember @Mibu posting some big nasty white looking bug in some coral before and it reminded me of this pffft.
And more i look at it ,it looks like the back end of body ( white) is curled up behind it with 2 apendages sticking off its behind.
And that white spear thing? Whats this and other white things inside hole.are these part of insides of coral perhaps?

OP, I would insist that you throw your phone away immediately. The zoom shots are too distrurbing and are making you (and now me) upset.

(Can't wait to see the videos of the monster!)

2nd video of the small hole with something inside with manibles and whats all the white stuff? Parts of inside of coral or part of critter.i think its this video at 1 minute in on video it extends out slightly and can see its white.
And sort off looks like its curled up and its white rear end is there with 2 apendages sticking out its behind

Let me try something by going in my content of a post that takes me back to this very thread but before it mostly got deleted and lets hope it not like ralph and breaks the internet lol

That's better. I think the creature might be some kind of barnacle?

The little black bug is something else?

 

[Goaway]

That's no barnacle. Some kind of worm. And it is fast.
