Acotylean H
photos: (upper) Cory Pittman, Kapalua Bay, Maui. (lower) Paul Okumura.

This worm is distinguished by its evenly spaced, diffuse brown dots. There is nothing quite like it on the Newman & Cannon CD. Note the small supernumerary 3rd tentacle immediately behind the lower tentacle.

The animal in the lower photo was found by Paul Okumura in a tidepool in Kona, Hawaii.. It seems to be the same species.
