Nah, with that description it's totally an amphipod!

Just kidding, I could be a million different things (but it's totally going to be an amphipod).

Im thinking baby bristleworm or nudibranch. Shows why a picture is valuable

Its a nudibranch and likely of no benefit and has potential to lay eggs. I would net it and discard
