need quick id

So i picked up a hammer coral today and when I got home this guy was in the bag as well. Is this thing good or bad??? I have him bagged up still until i know if its safe to put into the tank. Its crazy it almost looks like little mini plants growing on its back about 3 inches long looks like a slug.

HMMMM....I'm not 100%...BUT it looks like a predatory coral eating nudibranch....I'd toss it

P.S. Did you check the hammer?????

I would not add that Nudi to the tank. There are only two possible outcomes for a Nudi like that.
1 - There are no corals in the tank that it can eat and it will starve and die.
2 - There is a coral in your tank that it can eat and it will damage or kill your coral.

Wow thank you guys for the quick reply it has been tossed. I think I would have cried if my corals started comming up missing.

Did you check the coral and rocks for eggs? Sometimes you'll find them.
