First Hitch hiker - Should I remove?

[JoseGaspar]

Hey all - I started my first reef tank about a month ago. Been steadily adding livestock/corals and spotted my first Hitch hiker today.
I think it might be a type of Feather Duster worm but I'm not sure. Help?

Does it move in any way?

Looks like the sea cucumber that hitched on my live rocks

Do you have any xenia?

Does it move in any way?

Only really with the flow of the tank, I think.

Do you have any xenia?

I do! I have a pulsing xenia on the same rock. About 10 inches away.

Does this look like a xenia polyp?

Oh God. Is it?? No wonder people call them weeds. I wasn't imagining I'd see growth for months.
If that's the case I suppose it's not a hitch hiker.

Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions.

Stoloniferous soft coral. Remove with extreme prejudice as they are happy to overgrow everything.
