Please help!

I purchased a very very nice live rock with corals on it. When I got home and looked in the tote there was an enormous worm like thing that I didn't see before. Im pretty sure it is a bristle worm but it seems weird looking. Any help is appreciated!

That doesn’t really look like a bristle worm. Could you get closer pictures? It almost looks like a sea hare.

100% not a bristle worm. I agree if it were a closer picture I’d be willing to bet its a sea hare as previously stated.

Huh, looks more like a sea cucumber than a worm...or a sea hare as well. So either cuke, or nudibranch.

Its a peanut worm. These worms are one of the few creatures that are confusing to i.d. In spite of its generic worm shape, this beast serves an important role in reef ecosystems eating uneaten food and detrious.
