Looks kind of like a nudibranch. This came in on a branch with tons of zoathid.
Could be a type of zoa eating nudi. I would take it out and put it in a bowl of the water, JIC.

Can also siphon them out using airline hose. If Zoa’s can be removed tank then take out and look for eggs and scrub with toothbrush and then return to tank.

Maybe use tweezers, or a gloved hand. Where did you get the rock from?
LFS on a branch with bunch of zoas. Several on there. I dipped the coral. And caught the biggest one in a cup.

Its hard to tell in a bag and best in a white or clear cup but may be a reef safe berghia nudibranch. Keep it out of tank for now

I see pics now- Not reef safe and best placed in this tank:

What color are the zoas? Nudis eat them and take on the colors of the zoas. If zoas are brown,good chance these are ZEN.

Its a branch with random different zoa, so different colors. Looks like they are falling off in the dip
Dip is effective against them as you discovered
