I had never seen a worm quite this color before. The body can be bright green, blue-green or brown, and the parapodia lobes light in color. They can be up to 100mm in length, so this was a very "small one". It lives in mucus tubes amongst algal frond or holdfast, or in mussel beds. (Thanks to Marlin Harms for the species ID, as I only knew the genus). Marlin found this beauty. Great day we had, Marlin.

Colorful and hungry, these are a feature of much of Borneo. Photo from Kelandaun Lake area, northestern Sabah.

The body of the worm is buried in the sand - what you can see here is the feeding filter. They normally retract in the blink of an eye but this one was a bit slow...
