This guy comes out only at night, and acts alot like a peanutworm that is milky white. I've only seen him twice, so I don't have much more to offer in the way of its habits. I'm not sure if he falls into himself like a peanut either.

Hi,

I would vote on it being a sipunculan, or peanut worm.

If it retracts by pulling into itself that is a characteristic only of those worms.

Color is not an important character.

:D

Thanks:) , I wondered if peanut worms could be so white. Other than that, it does seem to look and act like a peanut worm. Thanks again:)
