My first hitchhiker

The 30 gal I picked up from SaltnLime is up and running thanks to Amy and Snoop's help this past weekend. I picked up a chunk of rock and a few crabs today and this evening I found a new guest in the tank.
I'm not really sure what it is, and I'd like some help ID'ing it or suggestions on what to do with or about it.
I would say the whole thing is maybe 3 inches tall and with the tentacles? stretched out it maybe reaches a max diameter of 2 inches. Its light brown, maybe pink in color, has a stem that’s attached down into a hole in the rock and what looks like hairs with white bumps or dots on them coming off of the head and the tube looks sorta hollow. At first I thought it was just a plant or something, but I can hit it with a flashlight and it will sorta gyrate towards the beam. Should I get some food or something to feed it or just leave it be?
