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?

Could have smaller ones you can’t see yet
 
You all helped me make the decision to toss it. I don’t want to risk it. Thank you
