Good. Will "filter feed:" from the water column. Cryptic creatures normally won't last in our tanks especially if you keep your water low in nutrient.
Enjoy the diversity.

I have a beautiful one that grows in the center of my orange figi zoas...I sure wish I could get a better picture.....of course it only opens at night, and I took this with my older camera LOL
It looks like a tuba

These have really taken off under this rock I got a brain coral on. Also has a cool orange with blue spot encrusting coral growing under the brain that's like nothing I've ever seen before. Just worried about these messing with that one. 1 coral with 2 cool hikers. Makes up for the two aptasia I found on the mushroom rock I bought to seed the dead rock I used for this tank so I wouldn't get unwanted pests

This orange with blue spot critter could also be a tunicate.

You can see it under the brain. The spots don't appear to be eyes and it's hard. I thought it was a sponge the first time I noticed it.
