Any body know what this is? It came in on some Zoanthids and is stuck to the glass. I have counted at least 20 arms(?). He looks like he is just stuck to the glass cleaning it. Window cleaner might be a good name.

its aipstasia (acrozoanthus) considered a pest cause there brown & propigate rapidly, many ways to kill them safely..never crush them as that just spreads them..butterfly fish, peppermint shrimps will feed upon them. if that fails..youll have to use chemicals.
