SPS pests and treatment options

Can someone help me identify this coral hitchhiker? It looks cute (in a weird crab way), but I fear it may be a baby gorilla crab.

I would agree with your initial assessment. Looks like a small gorilla crab. The black tip claws are what I’m basing it on

Thanks for the second opinion. I actually just caught it. I think I may spare it and sentence it to a life in my refugium. I'm surprised my flame hawk didn't go after it - they were sharing the same coral when I caught it!

No problem. Glad it was an easy catch (from the sounds of it)

Hello everyone,
I have this coral and have had it for over a year. It was a bright red with purple dots on it. I cannot recall the name if the coral but any idea why it may have turned brown over the last 2 weeks? It was a very rapid change.

Do you have nudibranchs?
