Now that's a new one on me! Neat find.

It's a neat find, true, but I don't want to take it home!

Thanks guys! your right TJ, on second thought maybe I'll leave it in the ocean.

I found one more rare species last night in the canyon that I just identified, a large Sabellid worm (related to the featherduster worm), click below for the pic, and more detail on the organism:

This must be worm week! This is the third new worm species I found (new for me at least), this one is a very large x-mas tree worm, found at 110 feet on the Palawan wreck. Identification is pending.
