It's not from space

This little creature was found during the day at Cabo Blanco, on a tide pool expedition. This picture was taken through the lens of a microscope. We we're unable to identify it's species, but found that it is in the Phylum: Anna Elida, Class: terebellidae. It was about an inch long. After we collected many different life forms from the tide pools we brought them back to a research room where we tried to identify each species. Milton gave a short lecture on marine life and the origins of different species.
