I found this tiny 1cm long slug in my houseplant. What is it? (slrpnk.net)

And importantly, is it a harmful one that should be separated from my Ficus?

From a search online, I think it's a meadow slug. I appreciate the info, I'll repot it when I get a chance. Any way to get rid of them in the meantime?

Pick the slugs off off and throw them outside, or into a cup with some beer in it if you want to personally kill them.

Wipe the plant down with some neem oil to debug anything else that may have hitched a ride.
