There is a crab that looks very similar to yours that lives inside the flame scallop. I don't know if its a symbiotic relationship, but they usually don't seem to cause any harm to a healthy live scallop. I had one in a scallop for over a year. I don't know what its called though. Most people only notice them after a scallop has died and has been eaten.

Thank you, is he safe to leave in the tank or should I remove him.
