Can anyone tell me what this is? It’s hard to see but the squiggly lines. They are neon blue, the body is black and it has 2 tiny little white antennas.

Better picture without the blueight will help but what you describe sounds like a nudibranch

Are they a threat to any fish or corals? I have a mixed reef.... little bit of everything.

Depends on the species I dont know much about them... I'm sure others will know more. But to be positive a better picture if you can

Yeah, I’m trying, but my hermits scared it away... now it’s almost impossible to photograph. I’ll try again once it comes out.

Sounds like a blue velvet nudibranch. If so they eat flatworms.

Is that all they eat? They aren’t a nuisance to anything?

That's all they eat. Unfortunately, that means if you have no flatworms it dies.
