ID on spider like critter

[Adamsb89]

I recent got a shipment of corals in and one brain coral had this guy sticking out head first. He appeared to hold on as I pulled him out but didn't move afterwards. The back end was almost like a popcorn kernel.

Looks like you're not waiting for an ID before taking care of him!

I have no clue but interested to find out.

 

[Adamsb89]

Oh he's already flushed. I'm just really curious.
