Xenocarcinus tuberculatus (Xeno crab, whip coral crab). They look like some kind of alien creatures. These tiny crabs are typically found clutching onto a whip coral (thus the common name whip coral crab). They come in a wide range of colors to match the color of the host coral. You have to look carefully to find one.
