I think if I saw that on a dive I'd be thinking "I wonder what slug laid that egg mass"

Cheers,

Jim.

PS- is there a link to the footage?

My first response was the same as Jim's but it's a flatworm. Many of them have that type of tentacles. The white streak in the middle of the body is the stomach and the 2 white spots at the end of the stomach are internal reproductive organs. The movement is very characteristic for a flattie.

Leslie, could this be a Leptoplanid?

Cheers,

Jim.

That's one possibility. Callioplanidae and Planoceridae are 2 more families that have dorsal tentacles and very thin, transparent & cryptically patterned bodies. I don't really know flatworms & just picture key them like most people so I'm not willing to go past "flatworm" as an id.
