Ribbon or Nemertinean worm

A wonderful Nemertinean worm was found in the algae and its flattened anterior end made it able to swim like an eel. Around 50mm in this photo, it could actually extend to over twice that length and as the second photo shows, had a pointed "nose" with tiny pink eye sensors.
