Critter ID Help

Post by Magoi »

I was going through some photos from a trip to God's Pocket at the end of last August. I just noticed a hitchhiker on this Clown Dorid that looks like some kind of worm. Can anyone identify it? Sorry the photo is not sharper.

Probably the Red-banded Commensal worm, often found on sea stars.

I take photos because I like it, not because I'm good at it. :) by Unknown
