It's a sponge-eating dorid nudibranch, but I can't see it well enough to give you a positive ID. It won't hurt anything in your tank, although it will eventually starve. It's probably a Chromodoris species, if you want to sort through them on Seaslugforum.net.

Cheers,




Don

I would start with the Hypselodoris sp.

Hypselodoris infucata (that would be my initial guess):


Hypselodoris obscura and Hypselodoris kanga are other possibilities. All Chromodorididae feed on sponges.

Nice! I have lots of sponges between 900+ gallons of tanks!
