This little guy came on one of my button pollup coral things I got. (my husband is the fish-guy)... anyway I am worried b/c I dont know WHAT it is/ eats. It stayed on the buttons for like 3 weeks and now its doing rounds on the glass (it likes to wrap around the snails and hitch hike around the glass). Its about 1 to 1 1/2 inches long and looks like a mini sea cucumber or something?? Its dark purple color and has long bumpy things all over it. Its very slow like a slug or something - just worried its going to die since I'm not sure what it is or what it eats/does. Searched all over google and this site but couldnt find anything exactly like it. Help.. thanks!

Tank is 28g and has been set up for like 4-5 months - not that that should really matter... anyway lemme know if anyone can help! thanks!
