    Well it's new to me anyway. I've found all kinds of different worms over the years, but never anything quite like this guy. I assume it's a type of Polychaete worm, but there are so many different types of worms in the ocean I'm not even going to try and ID it, LOL! As you can see it has "bristle" like appendages, but is not segmented at all.

    Anyway, I thought it was particularly ugly, so I decided to share some photos.
