It appears to be a species of Dorid Nudibranch and if it was in my tank, I’d remove it. They don’t usually survive long term because of their specialized diets. Worse, is that when they do die, they can release some nasty toxins. Please see more information regarding this at WWM:
http://www.wetwebmedia.com/nudispt3.htm. You might also want to check out the Sea Slug Forum, it's excellent. Here’s a link to a black Dorid (Dendrodoris nigra) there for comparison: http://www.seaslugforum.net/display.cfm?id=4181 >
Thanks
