creepy crawly from secret bay

[Wisnu]

I think it's not nudi nor flatform - can't find in the nudi book.
Size - approx 3 cm lenght.
Any clue ?

I'd guess it is some kind of polychaete.

It's not in the Nudi book, Wisnu, because it's not a nudi. It's a worm. This kind of worm is known as a bristle worm (or a "fireworm" because the bristles on it can sting). Yes, as smellzlikefish suggests, it is a polychaete. I believe it's Chloeia flava.

Great shot, by the way!

Definitely a Chloea, fusca or flava.

All, thanks ... you're right - further googling with your key words, this bristle worm is not uncommon in bali.

Quero,
Thanks - actually the picture was taken by Melati with her new XZ-1.
Hope we have a chance to visit Puket and meet you again - too little time, kids love diving much and want to go to new sites.

Wow! I just checked your gallery for Melati's other shots! How cool is it to see two frogfishes right next to each other like that (the big orange one next to the much smaller red one)? Looks like you've got a budding photo pro on your hands, Wisnu!
