Got a Nem a few weeks ago. It initially took to the back of the tank but just moved to a crevice right behind another coral. Should I worry about the Nem being aggressive towards the other coral?

Yes, if they touch, the coral will not be happy… fortunately it looks like you still have plenty of space. If the nem found a good crevice it will probably stay a while now.

If it's just the toadstool, I would hold off on moving it. I doubt the nem will bother it.

How do you figure? And why even risk it in what looks like a newish tank with plenty of alternative real estate? The fact that its a leather and will grow quickly makes it even more likely they will collide.

Leathers are extremely resilient. I assume if moving the coral was no problem, the OP would have done it already... I've never had a BTA bother soft coral.
