Furry sea cucumber?

[amw5g]

Look literally like that, but none of the pics I can find match the elongated, almost antler-like fur of the ones I saw today off Ft Pierce in Florida.

Roughly 15' on the sand, just off a reef. Seen during the day. I'd say it was perhaps 9"-12" long, however it's a bit coiled. There were two of them quote close by, and one looked like it had some sort of orifice on top, near the middle of it's length.

Looks like the crossbreed of a lionfish and sea cucumber. ;-)

Oh dear, just what we need....

I think that is Leach's Sea Hare, Bursatella leachii.

Thanks Kupu, that looks like a candidate.
