white crab?

[camillo]

i brought some coral today and just realised that lurking inside one is a small white crab. its very small and will be very hard to take a picture of at the moment, but i will when i can. its small white and has small nippers. does anybody have any idea what it could be and any advice on what i should do?

was it on an acropora?

I would love to see a pic. We had a small white crab in our tank and realized that it was eating our polyps.
