I found a very well camouflage hitch hiker in my xenia!

Apparently they are called xenia crabs (not gonna lie I really did not saw it until i really took a closer look to inspect my xenia for damges and noticed some stalks that does'nt have some fingers and was like whoa why is that stalk moving sideways!!)

They have a very cool symbiotic relationship on a xenia, they eat xenia while they also protect xenia!

Will this help me control xenia's weed-like nature that spread quickly or will i need to find him a friend?

Look at 2nd pic and have fun finding him 🤣

ID please. I am new to marine aquariums hobby. I got this piece, of what I thought was a coral, free with my last order. Now it has those polyps popping out. On the 1st photo you can see the purple top of what I through was free coral and they are growing from the bottom, they all retracted when I handled the piece (photo 2). Is this aiptasia?
