    Some kind of slug or nudi possibly? I can't really see in this pic. My guess is as good as yours.

    Looks like a Stomatella to me. Harmless. Check and see if he has an oval shell on his back.

    Looks like a stomatella to me as well but its a little out of focus. If it is not only is it harmless but it is also an algae eater.
