What is it? Survived a 30 minute dip!

First time buying my frags from this LFS so even though it was only 3 small 2-3 head Acan frags I ran a 30 minute dip. 20-30 dead bristleworms in the bottom, saw those tube making worms on the bottom and took a razor knife to them. Then I saw something weird, plucked it with my knife and it kind of looks like a roley-poley. Whatever it is, a 30 minute full dose dip didn’t faze it, neither did placing it on my countertop because it started to try and escape.

Ok, phew. Because I noticed this guy on the third frag, the first two were already into quarantine tank. I pulled them out and took the razor to the bottoms anyway and did a second quick dip just to be thorough.

What a waste
My coral banded loves bristle worms and is an expert at hunting too.
It grabs a worm by the head, chew on it and slowly pull the whole worm out of the rock.
