Humm, well at that size it won't pose a problem to your tank. Is it a bright or neon type green, or a more dark pine tree type green? Also is the colouration mottled at all with spots, stripes, etc?

Its not a bright green would say more of a pine tree green, i woud say its got a body with stripes cant see no spots, but when it grows it will be a problem wont it ?
 
USUALLY the striped dark green ones are scavengers and won't pose a problem to your tank. There are some brighter-green ones that will eat snails/crabs/shrimp, but those are almoast always solid green.
