Is this what's bothering my Frogspawn?

I've been having issues with a frogspawn for a few months and I found this little dude crawling on it today. When I say little I mean it. Tiny, tiny, tiny tiny. He's maybe 1 or 1.5mm long. This is zoomed in at 8x on my phone camera.

That's the bugger in question. He has two little antennae looking things and appears to move much like a snail would in the direction of those. Some sort of nudbranch maybe?
Hey I think I just found one in my tank also! I have MASSIVE spirorbid worm problem and was actually researching these Vayssierea Felis recently but no one sells them. I’m so excited that I might already have them! What did you find out? Did they breed? Did they help with your spirorbid problem? Mine is very bright red, but camera doesn’t show color well it seems.

Yup - sure looks like a baby spanish dancer nudibranch but maybe not, but regardless as many suck the juice out of coral or feed on it- Get rid of it

Just googled Spanish dancer nudibranch, and it doesn’t look anything like that to me. Maybe the pictures aren’t clear enough? It looks a lot more like Vayssierea Felis to me, but I’m no expert lol

If it were, also get rid of it
 
Why get rid of Vayssierea? I have really bad spirorbid problem, and was actually researching if people sell these, with no luck. Do they have unintended consequences? Can’t find much info online about using them in aquarium hobby.
If you have a spirobid issue- let him work but assure its not going after inverts
