I do not want to step on toes. But the phyllo clearly has 2 eyes in all the pictures I saw...

Unless I am mistaken, zoom in on the head area... this photo was taken from my video...

It clearly has 4 eyes or red Marks. I cannot find a photo of a Phyllo with the same markings or 4 eyes
Videos can be deceiving at times with how fast the worms move. That's why I like photos and close ups of the head and back end area.

I will announce winners once I have been educated by KJ.

I would prefer a credible source to make the decision on this one. Considering the equivalent street cost of this giveaway is hundreds of dollars, I'd like the I.d. to come from a pro.

Trust me, there are a lot of "pros" on here. Good luck to the winners, we were here for fun but a lot of credible guesses were made in my opinion.

Makes sense.

I think that, based off the eyespots and the "legs", that it is a Phyllodocidae. I would love to get a close up head shot.

I'm far from a pro that's true. Just a stay at home mom of two, taking time out of my day to help people ID the "hard to ID" stuff. I'm not always right but that doesn't mean I'm not credible.

If I may I suggest a random draw of all who took a stab at an id. Your thanking the crew for being thier and trying to help answering the call of a fellow reefer at all hours giving of thier time not for nailing it down on a first try. Awesome fun thing youve done here for the R2R team. Kudos to you and all involved

Thank you for the compliment but I am definitely not a pro! I just spend a lot of time doing research on the issues that I come across personally. There is so much more that I don`t even have a clue on,you give me way to much credit.I make mistakes all the time so that means I have to do more research. Please don`t make assume that everything I tell you is correct, I sometimes make lucky guesses.There are lots more people who are much more knowledgeable then I am making ID`s on hitch hikers on this forum. I am sorry but please , I can`t make this decision for you , what if I was wrong and someone else was right? Good Luck! Thank you again, you make me feel great that you have that much confidence in me!

ALRIGHT, THE TIME HAS (FINALLY) COME TO ANNOUNCE THE ID ON THE MYSTERY WORM!

WE ARE SETTLING ON THE PHYLLO.

It has been my honor and pleasure to present this giveaway to the ones who help keep reefs thriving and salt water hobbyist around the GLOBE encouraged, helped, and saved from quitting and walking away from this wonderful passion we call reefing every day.

THANK YOU ALL FOR PARTICIPATING AND PLEASE JOIN ME IN CONGRATULATING OUR WINNERS!

@Lovemyreef2015 nice hit as the first to guess this. Congrats!

@Dsnakes congrats on copying @Lovemyreef2015 ;) :p
@reef lover your choice was Syllidae. Which I have learned through my research to find the correct i.d. on this is part of the Phyllo family. Congratulations!

To the contestants that didnt win, thank you so much for helping make this giveaway fun and diverse! It was not an easy choice to make. And I'm still not 100% sure I am right. But I had to make a choice.

To the winners, go the Spoils. 1 head of dendrophyllia shipped to your door. It wont be for several week as I need to wait for babies to mature to ensure healthy frags in the future.

Please PM me for shipping info at your earliest convenience.

Thanks again everyone! And remember why we are all here...
