Depends who you ask, harmless cuc in my opinion and I leave them in my tank. Not dangerous but the bristles can penetrate your skin and sting if you pick them up barehanded

Just like kris said, "close your eyes and pretend you never seen it."

The bristles will stick to skin. Vinegar desolves the bristles if you come in contact.
i honestly like the pretend i didnt see it idea i dont think he seems to want to be touched if thats how he is gonna be but well yall are here this is my last unidentifiable critter its very small and has tentacles it kinda looks like a star fish but definitely is not one from what i see he is the bigger white dot and it moves as fast as the snails do across the glass wall

Some form of a pod, isopod, ampipod, . Fish will use as food.

Look like hydroids. Harmless and disappear over time.
