So I saw something last night that I hadn't seen before. Dive buddies missed it and couldn't id by my description. Diving in a quarry in NC. Dept was around 75 feet on silt bottom I saw a white segmented worm. One end appeared to be diamond shaped (almost like a snake head). Total length was about 4". The first one I saw was off by itself, about 30-40 feet away and at about 65 feet I saw perhaps about 6 or so more. For all the googling I am doing I can't seem to identify what I saw. I'm thinking maybe some type of tapeworm? but the diamond shaped end doesn't look like any pictures I have found online.

Thanks!
