Found this critter on the bottom of my open brain coral. looks like a hermit crab that has lost its shell, has no claws. It has highlights that are the same pinkish color as the coral. Not the best pics, but what do you think?
(pics are taken in an egg cup) Definitely an invert, as it has a hard exo-skeleton.
