Help My Brain!

I've had my open brain for several months now. It's always seemed very happy.

When I brought it home from my LFS, I noticed there was a perfectly round hole in the side of it. It was about the diameter of a #2 pencil eraser.

After some research I found that it was most likely a harmless filter feeder living inside it. I could see a very small animal inside. It looked like a tiny crab.

Lately I've been noticing that the side of the brain where that hole is has not been as inflated as the other sides, so I spun the brain around to have a closer look and and it seems the flesh by the whole is dying. It is all white.

Anything I can do for it? Should I try to remove that creature in the hole with a pair of tweezers?
 
You could try a coral dip to see if the crab will come out on it's own without doing anymore damage to the coral.
