My guess would be a Stomatella snail. If it is it will have a shell and they are beneficial. FWIW, a lot of stuff will be on coral colonies, most will be beneficial but some will be unwanted. Dipping corals before adding them to your system will minimize introducing pests.

+1 Stomatella snail.

Probably hitch hiked in on a coral. Good guy. They eat a wide range of algae and readily reproduce in reef tanks.

Weirdly, not something you readily see for sale in LFS or online.

thanks for answering. I don’t see any shell, look very soft to me. Is like a snail out of the shell or like a nudibranch, May be a flatworm. Is like 1cm long and half wide

The red thing on the back looks like the shell.

Here’s a video of one - your photo looks similar to mine, just with a reddish shell, IME the colors vary.
