Tony, the best way to look for these flatworms is pull the piece outta the tank and use a toothpick to scrap them off, they blend in really well with the rock but the skin should be shinny. Usually found at the corals base where it's starting to encrust onto the rock surface, or in the RTN areas where it's starting to eat the base.

Sorry to see the colony go south!
About the crab, to save/keep him, pick up the colony, put it beside another empty one, and chase him around with a toothpick. They tend to jump out fairly quick into the new colony if there is another one almost touching it. I have one that lived in two colonies that were 3/4" apart and he was only half an inch long, and I watched him jump across alot of times with no worries, he took his time. Chris

Tony there is a product by Tropic Marin called Pro Coral Cure that is supposed to be very effective at removing these as they are very difficult to get rid of. I have ordered some and hope it is here next week.
