Apparently only seen in Lembeh !

YouTube - Unknown Critter.mp4

And it wasn't just us - apparently they've been spotted on other sites too .....

Its a chloeia flava or fire worm !

What site was this seen at?

Nice, but I'm not sure about "only on Koa Tao"... We saw a fire worm off Curacao last November. I've got a picture, but it's not the best. A bit blurry... Same creature?

Hahah - I didnt say only on Koh Tao - I know they are seen in other places but they seem to be popping up on Koh Tao. Its nice to see things here that you haven't seen here before ! Although Im never quite sure if new species are a good thing or bad thing - no one can ever seem to tell me !
