Crabs

Recently I had noticed tissue recession on a few of my sps colonies. I tested my parameters and everything was in acceptable ranges. Then I started looking for AEFW but didn't see any. Then the other night after working a 14 hr shift came home and turned the lights on a there on one of my valida colonies was a little hairy red crab with blue eyes digging into my coral. I ended up killing it trying to get it out. The next day I found a other one. Killed him too. I checked this morning didn't see any. They decimated my garf bonsai and my acropra nana. Hopefully they will recover..
 
I recently removed a small hairy crab too. He had been eating patches on some of the sps for months. Every patch he ate has grown back fairly quickly. I don't think the damage can be seen anymore. Hope you can have the same luck
