Found this neat looking tiny slug like thing crawling on the glass. Wondering what it is and if I should be worried.

Most ppl will say to just drop it true the U bend, I for the other hand will say give the little dude a chance, most slugs are herbivores so probably a good addition to the CUC. Just keep a close eye and observe maybe.

Thanks for the reply. I will have to keep an eye on it. The little guy blew off the glass before I could catch him.

There are seaslugs and then there are nudibranchs. Seaslugs are herbivores while nudibranchs are carnivores. They nearly all have very specialized feeding requirements.

There is a yellow nudibranch that eats coral soft tissue. They typically come in as hitchhikers on new coral purchases. If you like your corals, then get rid of them. Nearly every seaslug is some shade of green or brown mainly. Can't make out the color on yours, but maybe stick it in the refugium with some hair algae until it gets bigger.
