Hi,

I took this picture during a night dive in Cozumel. Anyone has any idea what is it?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, the resolution is a bit low, but it appears to be either a ribbon worm or possibly a bristle worm. Did it have hairs on the side of the worm?
 
Too long and skinny for a bristle worm.
What was its length? Which way was it moving, R-L or L-R? (Actually asking which end was the head...can't tell from the photo.)
 
Medusa worm, Loimia medusa.
