Hitchhiker ID Help

I moved my reef into a larger tank this last weekend (90 gallon), and I found this guy in a hole on the backside of a piece of live rock. The live rock was in my other tank for about three years and I could see those bright tips sticking out, but I could never see the whole creature. I repositioned the rock in the new tank so that he's clearly visible from the front, but he doesn't seem to pop out as far as he did when he was hidden in the back.

Does anyone know what creature this guy might be?

I tried spot feeding him some phytoplankton last night, but he didn't respond. I just floated some chopped shrimp in front of him and, wow, he responded to that! He grabbed it and closed up faster than I could have imagined. Here's a photo of him closed up after taking the shrimp.

He normally stays open day and night. This is the first time I fed him.
