plate coral + crab

[dan-dare]

aye aye,
I bought a LOVELY plate coral from Paul at Ocean Corals earlier today. It settled in really well and it's tongues/feeder thingies/feelers/whatever they are, are all showing nicely almost straight away.
For the last half hour though, one of my halloween crabs has plonked itself right at the top and keeps putting his little hands in the mouth area. :confused:
Does anybody know if the crab is actually eating the coral or trying to pinch a free dinner??? Fingers crossed I'm worrying about nothing, but I'm sure you have all been here before - worrying overtly over the latest pretty thing in your tank..
thanks in advance one and all
Dan

Have you tried feeding it fella? If you have then that's what it's after and you should take it off.

ah, that must be it, cause I fed it a few hours ago...
off to move the little ****** now.
cheers bud

Settling in well if it's taken food already! Good stuff mate. :)
