Default slug (?) came out of no where and changed in less than 12 hours

so i bought a piece of coral and on it came what i believe to be a slug, it looked like a small piece of dough (like in th ice cream... yea weird referance) and about the same size and was a brown/tan color. this morning it had a white spot that I was worried about and figured Id watch. it primarily only comes out at night ill see it when I wake up. but tonight it was out when I had the lights on in the tank on and it completly changed. he s now about 1/3 the size of a walnut shell (coming from the size of a peanut) in less than 12 hours. he now has black and white almost marble look to him the head of a snail with little branch like tentacles that are sticking out and that are like maroon/white with black rings, now i know i just need to go buy an inverts book but can someone tell me what the hell it is and toxic, etc. thank you
