Hello, I found this today in Guam in about 15-20 ft of water. It seems to be some sort of worm but I'm really not sure, any replies greatly appreciated. Thanks, Melissa
 
It's a nudibranch.
It looks like Pteraeolidia ianthina, sometimes commonly referred to as the chinese dragon nudibranch.
 
Actually, it's a pair of nudibranchs, with their heads towards each other in the middle. If you timed your shot a little better, you probably could have caught them mating.
