I have posted on nano-reef.com, asked a few reefers I know, and an advanced reefer, and they have no idea what it is. One said maybe a nudibranch. Make sure you look at all photos & the video before making judgement :P

These 2^^ photos it is on the end of a pipette.

^^ Where i originally saw it..

^^ video on facebook. It's moving a little weird on the pipette than it did in the water on the rock. On the rock it moved sort of like a sting ray does...

Thank you!

If it is what ithink it is, it will get huge.
Sometimes they are all over the coast down here and they are about a foot long, and very cool to watch swim. Like you say they kind of propel themselves the way stingrays do.
They are cool creatures, but I don't think you want it in your tank.
If you are near the sea, I would release it.

Flatworm, probably will grow up to eat snails.

Also, NEVER release ANYTHING from your tank to local waters, it's not worth destroying an ecosystem to save a single life.

Justice is right.
My bad.

Looks like a flatworm to me. Some can get pretty large and prey on inverts in your aquarium. I'd remove it. It would be cool to keep in a separate tank (a species only tank). They can be quite pretty.
