Nope! Paguritta sp. hermit crabs (you can see the eyestalks). These are commensal to SPS corals like Porites which are the most common hosts for Spirobranchus worms.

Here's a Tidal Gardens vid for more info

I'm even more jealous now!

Yeah, barnacle. Most don't survive long in a tank but I have a few that came in on live rock that have survived over a year so far.
