Identification is verified by Leslie Harris, Nudi Pixel expert
Comment from Leslie Harris: An amphinomid in either Chloeia or Notopygos. The difference is whether there's one or two dorsal cirri per setiger. the two most photographed species are Chloeia flava and Chloeia fusca but this is neither. A specimen or two for identification would be nice!
Comment from Dr. Richard Willan: Polychaete worm (Amphinomidae).
Comment from the photographer: For the Non-Sea Slug Section: Chloeia fusca
