i seem to have lots of unidentified creatures which i take great pains to extract.

this is another one which i extracted from one of my aussie coral. when i bought this, it already had this hole.

but its healthy and the tentacles are fully extended so i didnt think much. until one day i saw a sooooo slight movement in that hole and realized something was actually hosting in it.

can the seniors help to identify what this is? its smaller than a finernail but FAT!
