Nudibranch? Worm?

Post by BbbleMkr »

I know it's hard to see, but what the heck is this little "dalmation" colored invertebrate?



Diver C took this at around 65fsw and it was in an indented area of sand, shells and gravel at Maury Island Barges.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance,

Hey DD... it is a bit hard to see. Too hard for me to even hazard a guess, though it does look a bit like my unidentified invert that is currently thought to be a small White Sea Cuke.
