Hello! New to the reefing community and need help identifying what hitched a ride on some Chaeto? Body is the size of a pea, all blown out it’s the size of a dime.

Thank you! Being new I have never seen it aside from pics. Good thing I quarantined this stuff!

To be honest, it’s the first time I see it attached to chaeto haha. Easier to get rid of this way haha

He was easy to pluck out Should I continue my quarantine for at least a month?

I would throw that away and find someone that has a pest free chaeto. Get all the new chaeto out immediately
