I ordered a small Aussie Elegance recently and it has never really opened up like I thought it should and it has steadily looked worse and worse. I kept trying to move it to different places to get the lighting and flow right, but last night I was looking at it closely and noticed what looked like bright orange legs hidden within its soft tissue folds. I kept looking and they were definitely moving and looked crablike. I thought that couldn't be healthy for the elegance, so I took it out tonight and used some tweezers to extract the "crab". Its body shape actually looks more like a tick. In fact my 9 year old son, who is my little biologist, started googling "sea tick", haha. Does anyone have any ideas about this? Hopefully I didn't damage too much of the coral's tissue when I was getting the crab out and it can recover!
