tropical red lobster (help)

[Scotch]

my new lobster which i entered into my tank today , which is a mainly tetra tank, is covered with these little white animals going in and out its nose and all over it, like tiny little pure white fish, very small.
i need to know if this is a mutually beneficial relationship, or if i should be worried , in case thise affects other life in my tank , and also if its curable.

any insights greatly appreciated.

oh im sorry guys, ive posted in wrong place plz 4give me im a nOOb!

I have crayfish with a similar problem. These little white "worms" are from a polluted tank. They don't seem to bother my crayfish, they go away as I change the water. I think they get these because they spend their time on the bottom of the tank scrounging for food and debris. This is where the little worms live, in the gravel. They don't seem to harm my crayfish, although I am not an expert.
