I'll just post my questions here, so as not to flood the other boards.

I have a crab with some sort of organism living on or in his shell. Do I need to remove him?

It retracts inside itself or inside the shell very quickly.

Thanks guys.

Form of filter feeder. Small feather duster type creature. No reason to worry
