Found a family of Crab in Red/Green Lobophyllia

[texasreefer]

I've had a Red/Green Lobopyllia for a couple weeks now, a couple days ago I discovered a pair of small crab on the lobos mantle (photo in gallery). I've never seen a crab like it, its about 5mm from leg tip to leg tip. Under actinic lighting it appears red and white, but under direct sunlight more brown and transparent. I posted pictures in the Reef Hitchhiker photo gallery, anyone feel free to comment.

Thanks FFrankie, thats really my question...This crab seems to be the daddy crab... I have him in a bag right now and i don't know wether I should put him back on the brain with the others or get 'rid' of him?
