    I can't make out any details at all in those photos, but I would suspect a synaptid (medussa worm). If you wish, I have some photo examples within the "odds & ends" section of my hitch hiker pages that you can compare against.

    Mine looks like this, is that what you are seeing too? I'm interested in knowing what it is. I'm also waiting on a brittle star i saw a few days ago to pop his head out so I can take some pics of him.
