It is just a ring of mucus and debris. They occasionally form them around their foot.

Should I leave it alone? Its still acclimating to the tank don’t want to stress it if I don’t have to

Yeah you can let it be. It isn't going to harm it. It might even slip off one night when it curls up to sleep. Or might leave it behind if it goes on a walk. If it really bother you, you can blow it off with a turkey baster.
