Kenya Tree Eater?

Found this guy on my new Kenya Tree. Not sure if he was eating it or just hiding on it, but he was definitely disturbing it. When he was on the rock, the tree was open fully, when he climbed on it, after a few minutes the coral would close up.

Anyone see these before? Blended in perfectly!

I had 2 of those in my tank and get them out of there. They will eat yoru corals. I found 2 of these chewing on my xenia colony one night and they burn yor fingers so do use gloves.
