In swedish the name of these worms (translated to english) is "mucus worms", or some other slimy word.

[AcanLord]

looks like a flatworm of some type. very striking coloration.

I think your confusing it with a sea cucumber which is capable of eviscerating its own guts.

[ExtremeLonely360]

does it squirt something out of it's body. well kinda loike a tongue or sumething

[utterbeastage]

I think it squirts it's body out of its body, no idea why - to get away faster maybe

[xcrayziestephx]

oh so it IS the ribbon worm.

i was making sure haha

[utterbeastage]

Im not sure if its the same thing myself , this was a related video from the 'weird worm' one

[OlleLindestad]

Yeah, nemerteans have a proboscis that they use for catching prey. It can be nearly as long as their body, and sometimes is tipped with a spike.

[xcrayziestephx]

i understand that but. WHAT is it. that it squirts out

[OlleLindestad]

A proboscis! It's a lot like a tongue except it's located above the mouth rather than inside the mouth.

I know the typical human response is to be revolted, but man, I love these guys
