Hi,

Can any kind soul help me to identify the "spaghetti worm" found in
the hydrothermal vent zone? It is described as "resembling
handfuls of white spaghetti draped over rocks."

I think it is Saxipendium coronatum, (Hemichordata,
Enteropneusta) but I do not have anything to confirm.

Thanks for any help or lead.
