Noob needing help to determine what this is. Keep or terminate???

After further research it is definitely a slug from the order Cephalaspidea, which includes bubble snails and blue velvet nudibranchs so I have no clear clue of what it might eat. Slugs often come in on the organism that they eat, and will often be colored similarly to what they eat. I would sump it until you can get a totally positive ID, but it most likely eats flatworms.
 
if it came in on what it eats, and it eats flat worms, that means I may have them too. Thanks for the ID.

It's coloration is alternating splotches of light grey and a greenish gray. It's about the size of a pencil point when stretched out. If that helps.

I captured and removed it just in case.
