help ID filter feeder inside LPS

[Alvaro_Spain]

Hi guys!

I just noticed a hitchhiker in this ¿favia? I bought a week ago. It´s just in the middle on top and it opens and closes to filter feed.

Any suggestions on what it is? It doesn´t seem to bother the coral.

Thank you so much for the ID!!

Not bad at all. Will starve if there's not enough food in the water though.
