Very Strange Sea Creature

This is video of a Nemertean Worm, shot off the Florida Coast and courtesy of Jay Garbose Underwater Video. Nemertea is a phylum of invertebrates that are mostly found in salt water, on the sea floor. They range in length from around 5mm up to about 30 meters long. Reports of 60 meter long Nemertean Worms exist, which would make it the longest animal in the world, but none have been scientifically verified. In comparison, the longest vertebrate on record is the female blue whale, at *only* 29.9 meters long.
