    I assume so. Haven't added any rock in like 2months and this is the first time I'm seeing it. Is it bad?

    You just seeing this guy at night right? I wouldn't touch it just yet until we get a proper ID but looks interesting. Can you describe colors and other info on the creature?

    The two "bulb" formations on him apparently were 2 of my snails.... Seemed to have covered them completely and killed them...

    Some type of nudibranch.
    I wouldn't kill it, but I would try to isolate it until a full identification could be made.

    Nudi or flatworm. Looks like the predatory type judging by size, and him killing inverts.

    Pull that guy out!!!! I am guessing that he is eating the snails since there is no clam to eat.
