Is this a slug or something else? Found it crawling on my soft corals? Do I need to dispose of it or is it ok?

size about 3/4" long and looks he's supposed to be camiflauged like coral

looks kinda like a monti eating nudibranch...which aren't good I'd put him in your sump if you have one or just take him out.

Nudibranch came to mind. The way I understand it, some are good, some are bad. Bad being the majority. Could be way off though. Might have to do a search.

It's a tritoniid nudibranch. They feed on soft corals and unfortunately, they can reproduce in captivity. You need to check any leathers and gorgonians for more of theses or their eggs, which will look like spirals.

To be safe I would put him in your sump.
