photos: Cory Pittman, Hekili Point, Maui, on floating plastic. Size: < 10 mm.

These worms were found with gooseneck barnacles (Lepas spp.) attached to floating plastic debris, along with flatworm Acotylean G, and nudibranchs Fiona pinnata and Doto sp. Multiple worms were present. The same two worms species have been found on floating debris at French Frigate Shoals, NWHI. Nothing quite like them appears on the Newman and Canon CD
