@cguigand What about that transparent fin like structure along both side of the body/stem? Is that common at some Polychaete species? Thanks!

Good suggestion yshish, although compared to the video, this one is lacking the tail-like part, has too many "mustaches", and a too thin gut

Yeah, there are some differences.... I was thinking about a larval stage or another species of a slug. I know too few marine animals 😦
