Sorry the pic isn't clear but its a little over a half inch long.
Appears to be some sort of slug.

I agree it does look like a nudibranch. Any chance of getting a clearer picture?

Ill try to get one tomorrow if he comes out again.
 
I only ask because, it looks like a Aeolidiidae nudi. Some of these are not reef safe and should be watched since I see you do have corals in the tank. A great site for ID'ing sea slugs is the seaslugforums. Her's a link to a huge species list. If you scroll down near the bottom, you see a list of slugs in the family Aeolidiidae. You may find your nudi in there as well as a bit of info.

That pic is better but honestly, these things are very hard to ID unless they are common. I'm gonna throw out a guess to you that it's in the family Tritoniidae. So if I had to give it a name I'd say Tritoniidae sp. I know that's not very specific but that's the best I can offer. And again, it's just guess on my part. I'd be very watchful though, that it's not nibbling your corals. I see in this last photo it looks like it's checking out your soft corals.
