Please ID

This showed up in my tank but I haven't added anything to my tank for at least a year. What do you all think?

I haven't added anything to my system in about 1 year. How could they just show up?

they were deep in the rock and finally surfaced ,
another way they could have appeared is if you have green zoa's somewhere else in the tank and you had a few floaters that settled on the rock
I have so many things just show up that I haven't had in years that reappear
but I also keep my rocks as I upgrade

I had an elephant slug show up after a year in the tank. This rock came into me dry.
