Hitchiker identification and question

[cori]

I have just set up my 75 gallon saltwater tank. I have 20 pounds of LR..which will increase soon...but this morning when I turned on my lights, I noticed this little fella....

sorry for the poor picture quality.. it's the best I could get. It's kind of a reddish/purple (sorta a rust color I guess) color, with a lighter center. Is he good, bad or indifferent? lol
Also, I am going away for the weekend...is it better to turn my lights off all together..or leave my moon lights on?

It looks like Apstasia (Spelling is probably wrong.) Most people don't like them in their tanks because they can sting corals and spread quickly.

Peppermint Shrimp work good for cleaning out the parasitic anemones.
