Vayssierea sp. - Neat little sea slug

[andrewkw]

I caught this guy this morning. I thought it was a nudibrach and was going to post and ID but I was able to find it rather easily via r2r search. Surprised I have never encountered these guys before. Since apparently the eat tube worms I put him back. Just thought I'd share a video and photos.

Vayssierea felis.. . .. . a type of sea slug which does feed on spirob worms and multiply quickly . They are deemed harmless but to me a nuisance when they are present in large numbers. With a wrasse ior two, they will soon disappear

Does anyone have one of these they'd like to part with? I'd like to take care of my spiro worms quickly! #reefsquad

Bro! I have massive spirorbid worm problem and just found one of these exactly in my tank! Did it turn out to be a real Vayssierea Felis?!? What happened? Did it breed? Did it solve spirorbid problem? Did you even have spirorbid problem? Details please!
