EEEEEEEEEK! Spiders!!!!

Can't guess, I REALLY do not like spiders. I especialy hate how they jump out at you!! UGH!!!!
Found this single stunning pink mushroom on this piece of live rock. I am seriously begining to wonder if this single pink mushroom is worth this piece of live rock!
Started with a small piece of aptasia, pulled the rock and broke off the section with the aptasia. That hit the trash. Anyway I'm watching the rock closely for any further signs of aptasia and out pops this white spider! And in typical spider behavior that sucker jumps out at me! I about had a stroke!!!!
So now the mushroom has been removed from the rock and the whole rock is in the trash. Enough of that business..
Worried about the mushroom. Anyone have any experience with the pink form and do you think it'll be ok with being shipped from retailer to store to my home and removed from the tank twice in a week's time?
I am a big fan of the mushrooms and I'd be bouncen hard if he takes off and reproduces. Just worried about the little guy. He's now on a safe rock and I'm leaving him alone. I figure that spider was probably munching on him and would have killed him in the long run.

Can you get a picture of the mushroom? Is it a ricordea? Make sure you got rid of the spider as they can devastate corals.

It's not the richordia form, just a flat regular mushroom, bright pink. I know the spider is gone.

If it's just a regular mushroom, then it should be fine. I haven't seen a regular pink one before that stayed pink. It might color up to red.

Right now it's carnation pink with streaks of white and clear. Prettiest one I've seen, I do have several Richordia's (one flouresant green) and 2 regular red's.
Thank you I hope your right and it's going to be ok.
