Hello I got a frag rock today and this little guy came off it once in my tank…. Looks like a solar slug or small sea hare to me but not sure .. these are the best photos I could get..

It’s super tiny, 1/4 inch and not moving fast at all.. friend or foe do you think? Thanks very much!
 
looks like a small cucumber to me
 
Thanks.. I got some slightly better photos.. it came in on that red mushroom rock in the photo..

If a cucumber should I remove it? I’ve heard about their toxin release when stressed or sucked into a pump or something… ?? Is that worth worrying about ? Thanks much everyone.

Keep it. That's a cool hitchhiker. I wouldn't worry about the horror stories.
 
Thanks ... 10-4 my reefer!
