Wondering if this little guy is a good hitchhiker or a bad one. Definitely a type of snail looks like a nice pattern on the shell

As we acquire many new members daily, I feel this should be posted monthly for those especially just starting out

Any ideas?

About 7-8 mm long, grey in color with a bit of brown speckling down the middle. A flatworm of some type, but not a planarian.

That’s the tip of a 1ml syringe in the pic

Thanks

If in doubt, get it out. But looks like the types I’ve seen that are coral preditors

I say take it out. Chances are that's not the only one you have
