Creature ID?


This creature resides on a purlpe gorgonian. He has spires on his back that loock like the feeding polyps on the fan. Im pretty sure it's a symbiotic relattionship like an acro crab and sps but want to know for sure.

Looks like a bristleworm. Red with white puffs of spines at every segment.

I could be something with similar dietary habits to the "flamingo tongue," which is actually a cowrie which feeds exclusively on gorgonians. I think from the pictures that it is a nudibranch, and I would be very wary if it eating the gorgonian.

the thing that is on the gorgonian branch mimicing it. The pink thing is a standard sponge I believe it lives at the base of my red carnation.
