I've had this tank for 2 weeks, it was already established when I purchased it. Every other day I find a new hitchhiker is this a reef safe slug or flat worm? It's kinda cool looking
Yet another new hitchhiker, looks like a flat worm or sea slug, is it safe?

I think its Planoceridae flat worm, it was giving me trouble attaching the file but it opens when I click on it via the thread. I'll try to switch it up and reattach

It's a polyclad flatworm - definitely a bad guy

Ahhh nooo! Today I set up a 5 gallon for our mantis shrimp hitchhicker I'll try to suck the worm up with my turkey baster and shoot it into his tank.

Will it release toxins if I attempt to turkey baster it?

No, it just serves no useful purpose. A mantis shrimp is a cool critter; polyclad flatworms are just trouble.

I read they eat snails, what else will it destroy? Will eat my gsp or pulsating xenia?

You can look all that up... there are some that eat clams, some that eat corals, etc...
