from the picture it appears to be a nudibranch. which one hard to say. also hard to say if it is safe or not. it you see it eating algae, might be ok but to be on the safe side if you cannot identify it as an algae eater it should be removed. it should hang around its food source. good luck.

its a nudi. If your FOWLR then dont worry much. But alot of them are known to eat zoanthids and various other things.

if you touch the open part of him he all closes up. but when i went to look for him this morning he cant be found. I dont wanna move the lr around to see where he went to. i have a little one that looks just like him but he really hasn moved much. he came with some lr i added .. he is a strange looking little thing.

no coral, just live rock, and 4 Damsels. and finding little crabs and snails that were hitch hikers, found a mantis shrimp going to try to get him out. is there a good way to catch him?
your mantis will be tricky to catch, they are soo dang smart. ifyou know the rock he hides in you can take it out and squirt fresh water in there and see if that gets him out. and your crabs I would also think about getting them out as well. they are probably gorilla crabs and they are nasty little buggars.
