its a nudibranch.
harmful or not you'll have to study....good place to start is cross referencing with corals you have in the tank...

Judging from the small plume, (looks like the plumes are still developing) this is a young nudibranch. The plumes on this specimen look like developing Branchia Plumes. To help identify you can cross-reference with the types of nudibranchs that develop this type of an appendage:
1) Phanerobranch Dorid
2) Cryptobranch Dorid

...hope this helps.
