It is probably a different kind of slug.

It looks like a breed of one of these

Saltwater aquarium sea slug page: Aquatic Connection

I will look on the web for more.

By looking at the video in the second camera position it moved like a slug. so I think it is some kind of a slug or a Nudibranch witch is anouther name for a slug.

i htink ace is on the right track.

it is hard to tell the exact species because there are so many out there, but i would say to leave it in.

the lifespan of a neudibranch is only about a year anyway.
