That's a nudibranc take it out and kill it. Could also be a flat worm but looks to me to be too big. Either way out and dead!!!

Really? Why is he bad?

They are really hard to identify, and many eat corals.

Well he's out and sitting next to the garbage disposal what do I do?

I believe that is a polyclad flatworm. Definitely remove it. They will eat all sorts of things.

Yes get rid of it. I had two when I moved a broke down my 90 gallon. Both were about the size of playing card. They love to eat clams, lost 2 in one night before I knew what was happening.
