  #FFF what is this?? its body is very transparent, reminds me of a #larvacean, but the head is more like a #polychaeteworm. some #larva?

  @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

  ... but it may be a similar type of organism

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