Predatory mite?

No, I've not added any new crabs to the tank in a while. I assume it's a grain of sand because it's not moving. Thoughts?

Update: I think it was just sand.....it's gone now, I believe the crab in question was just digging and got sand all over it.

If it’s gone now it probably was just sand.
