The picture shows only its foot sole... but,
it looks to me like a coralivore slug named Tritoniopsis.
Animals with a voracious nature which each soft corals.

That is exactly what that is. Get rid of it immediatley. The first time
I encountered one of these I practically let it eat the base of my 10"
toadstool leather before I noticed what it was doing, I was so ashamed!

Yep :-) The mouth on it is a dead giveaway as to it's nature.

This is pretty interesting animal, so if you have some soft corals
to spare as feeders for this slug you could keep it and abserve it.
Very cool looking beast, don't you think ?
