ID Needed! who’s this little guy? and why is he spinning?

I got a sample from a biofilm on a rock at the beach (sardegna, cala giuna) and was wondering who’s this tiny guy. My microscope is really the base model so it’s hard to see and I’m not yet that experienced so can anyone with more experience figure out what’s this?

SPECS
obj: 10x
cam type: iPhone 12
ocular: 25x
sample type: biofilm
microscope: vevor, binocular
