Saw this last night on a starfish leg. At first I thought it was a tore up piece of the starfish until it moved. I am sure it is a worm of some sort, but not sure exactly what kind???

Jan, thanks! I just found this in my ID bible on page 140. It says that the worm takes on the color of the starfish. Way cool! Have you done a write-up on these before?
