Well...look!!! What could it be? a Crab...snail?

The zoanthids are still open. Is this crab something I should remove or is he going to help spread them them for me.

I thought you said they were moving and you didn't look to see why yet...so what crab are you talking about....

No I havent removed them yet. But now it has moved so I can see it better.
It is a crab but how would they be attached and should I remove them.

What kind of crab? Surely they are not actually attached to the crab?
If they are, IMO I would probably find a way to remove them and place them on a rock.

Could be a Decorator Crab... they pick off zoas and mushrooms and attach them to their back...

What is IMO? It must be a hitcher and about the size of a pencil eraser.
Thanks for the help I'm new at this.
