I was doing some routine cleaning on my Pico tank and came across this guy. All the rock in the Pico came from my main tank (that is Starfish free), so I'm guessing he hitched a ride on a coral. The rock in the picture is only about an 1"

Yep, pretty much everyone has a whole bunch of them, they usually come in on LR. They are nocturnal, and during the day all you'll really see of them unless you lift something up is their arms. You probably have a whole bunch in your main tank that you just haven't noticed. They don't get very big, and are a good guy.
 
Mine love small squid pieces. They sometimes come out to eat it.

Well their arms do and they take it away.
