Never a dull moment - New Bug!
Sorry for the bad photo, point and shoot from top down w/o correct WB for sure ....
This is a Monti piece I just dipped in REVIVE few days ago to kill what I thought was problem bugs, turned out to be Brittle stars and should have kept. Now I see this guy and he is really small 1/4 inch at most, under magnification thing I have he looks like a spider with one pincher for sure and maybe two. May I get an id of the bug and is he a concern? Proper id of the coral itself would be cool too.... Thanks!

Looks like a teddybear crab.
Tough to tell though. Also looks like the Idaho Grape Montipora |

Thanks for the info. Well, I thought I could take the Monti out again and Revive dip for 3-5 minutes and the crab would seperate... No chance! Never saw the bugger and I blasted REVIVE in every crevice.... So, How do I get the bugger? He doesn't let me blast him in the tank, hides!
