Paraplanocera? B

photo: David Prutow. Kawaihae, Hawai'i. Depth 17-20 ft. Day. Length 6-7 mm. August, 2023
.
Translucent body with faint white flecks; long head tentacles with orange bases containing tiny black spots; red lateral tubercles on either side of the tentacles. Nothing like this appears on the Newman & Cannon CD and we don't know what it is. Possibly a Paraplanocera. The tiny crustaceans at right and upper left are tube-dwelling amphipods.
