Nemertean of Puget Sound: Lineus sp.

[DCjln]

A Lineus sp (not Amphiporus).

[DCjln]

@LithodidMan No, not Amphiporus. This worm has a ventral mouth (whitish region a little way back from back of snout. Looks like a Lineus sp. Depending on magnification, possibly Lineus vegetus.

It's a Nemertine... it's its own phylum.... it's not a flatworm because it has a 1 way digestive tract (like us kinda)... and flatworms do not.
