Things on Crab (Mites?)

I was looking at my emerald crab today, when I saw lots of little yellow things crawling around on it that looked like mites. Are they bad/good/do nothing? How do you kill them if they are bad?:eek2: :confused:

Forgot to say that it will be very hard to take a picture of them because they are .5-1 mm long, and the crab is usually in a spot that would be hard to take a picture of. Also, the "mites" seem to be only on it's claws.

Some sort of flatworm maybe? Would it be possible to catch the crab and then somehow dip only the claws in RO?

Why would RO water help?
