Greg alerted me to this one. There are a few feather dusters whose color is diagnostic (like Eudistylia vancouveri) but that's not always true. With luck he may manage to find a couple so I can figure out exactly what it is.

There are allot of these at Les Davis and they seem to come in several colors or at least there are several different colors down there and they all appear to be the same type critter. I haven't got a clue what they are but I hope maybe these will help.

No clue and I can't tell if they're the same or not. All the important characters for both genus & species are either hidden by the tube or can only be seen under a microscope. Great pics though!
