I found this little guy on the glass early in the morning right when I woke up (before lights on). Later I looked at it under my not so great digital microscope. I thought maybe it was a monti eater or a zoa eater but when I looked at it under the microscope, it had this odd sea hare shape to it. I do have a rather largeish sea hare happily ridding me of hair algae ATM.

This one is a little smaller than a grain of rice but there was another larger one that floated away as I tried to collect it.

Could this be a Juvenile sea hare?

If not, what is it?

Pics: (If i find the bigger one I'll get some better pics.)

Nope, it appears to be Elysia sp. rather than a sea hare- an algae eater nonetheless.
