I’ve got video of it on my Flickr account, here.

If anyone has any idea what it is, it would be most appreciated.  They’re spooky and my friend tells me they’re all around Guam.  I’ve got less than 20 dives under my belt, but this was the first time I’d seen one.  Picture was taken in Apra Harbor in about 2m of water near an old WW2 Japanese Fuel pier.

There’s a couple other unknowns on my photostream if you get bored.

Here’s a surface picture of where the ‘worm thing’ was found:

Thanks in advance.

Really?  Wow.  There are quite a few big fat slow non-moving very cucumber like sea cucumbers out there.  No idea this was classified as one as well.  Thanks!

By the way Pht, your link didn’t work.
