Mystery Critter

Can anyone identify the critter in the upper left? I didn't even know it was in the image until I looked at it on the computer.

IMG_4006.jpgIMG_4092.jpgIMG_4048.jpgSome stuff from recent days at da' bridge. Are these 2 on the left octocorals? That's what I call them anyway? I've seen them on sponges a number of times but this was a first for the branching. Interesting. I don't have the Reef Coral book but I know where to find one--will check soon. I guess the other pic is or are decorator crabs--could be 2 as the legs seem to be coming from 2 directions. We saw this type of crab? 2 days in a row............

White Telesto - Carihoa riisei - from Reef Corals: "...large, prominent, white polyps."; "Stems often encrusted and/or overgrown with algae, sponge and other organisms."

Definitely 2 of them - saw a few of them over the past few days as well. Nice photo.
