During the Easter long weekend, I finally found the time to finish editing the video from our March trip to Roatán.

You can view it on my YouTube channel here:

I hope that you enjoy it! Now, I'm off to do my #%$&* taxes!!!!

It's the damndest thing Craig. I can't find a picture online ANYWHERE! Nor can I find it in the Humann/Deloach ID book. It is only found in the "Caribbean Reef Life of the Bay Islands, Honduras" book, and it's a dead ringer.

I don't have a way to scan the photo...here's the book:

Caribbean Reef Life - a field guide for Caribbean diving and fish identification

I found the book, but could not find pg 136. Take a picture of it with your phone, post the photo, directly, or after you email it to yourself. I'd love to see it.

That sure does look like your "worm". Does the book give any indication to how frequently it is seen:? Great find.

Other than "usually lives deep inside the reef"...nothing.
It's frustrating, because I can't find any other information - not even GOOGLE can help
I can tell you I've done around 400-500 dives in Roatan and it's the only time I've ever seen anything like it.

I have to give credit where credit is due. We dive with Aqua Adventures out of Media Luna Resort. Our divemaster there is named Daren - we call him Junior. He has eagle eyes and he's the one who spotted it initially. We both spent a couple of minutes watching it crawl over the reef. We looked at each other and gave the sign for "WTF"??? Neither of us knew what it was.

I'm comfortable that I now have the answer...
