OK I've altered the image to make it a bit easier to find the crab hole

Default Extracted the crabs!
OK, I was able to take out the crabs as they were emerging at night.

I honestly don't know if the big invertebrate that I pulled out is a crab! The really tiny one with the green back looks like a crab to me. They are both very slow moving creatures. Anyway, the larger of the two was definitely growing in the brain coral for quite some time because after I took it out, it left a substantially deep hole (about 1 cm). I hope the brain coral will just grow over and close this hole up.

If anyone can help identify what I pulled out, that would be great.

..and here are the pictures:

The other Creature could be a pod, or insect of some kind.

Does look similar, although the body on mine is huge compared to the length of the legs - sort as if you mixed a tick and a jumping spider together

BTW, both are still alive if anyone wants them.....

Yes, the large one definitely looks like a large jumping spider
