I don't know too much about them but I think they realese a toxic into your tank which can kill fish. Also there have been some that get sucked into the filter and that can wipe out your whole tank as well. But are we talking about a sea apple or a cucumber?

There are sea slugs that are reef safe but I don't remember the name. They do release poison into the water. I have a sea slug and I found out after the fact that it is toxic. It did get stuck in the filter but I saved it probably within minutes so it didn't squirt anything in the water. It has been probed by my camel shrimp a couple of times and nothing has happened - thank heavens. I have had the slug for nearly two months and I hope no disasters will happen in the future. They are a unique animal to watch along with the rest of the creatures in the aquarium.
