What did you find it on or around?

It looks like a nudibranch - the next question is - What does it eat and do you have any of whatever it eats in your tank?
 
Does look like a Nudi.
They are very specific what they eat depending on which Nudi. So what are your corals?

Hi thank you for your reply
Last week I started pumping some corals on my tank
And this week I found 3 on my reef glass
My corals are mashroom, zoas and one more I don't know what they call I share pic for it.

So what can I do to remove it and is it harmful for corals

I would stop putting anything new in the tank until you find these and get rid of them.

I'm not an expert at all - but a guess would be that it and it's friends are eating the zoas - or will be soon.

You should get a coral dip, follow the directions and start dipping your corals.

You can get rid of them - it's gonna take a little work though. And you need to get rid of them before putting anything else in the tank.
