"I saw this worm many years ago, and had no idea what it was until now.
I was stationed at Naha Okinawa from 1962 - 1966. We had one of our usual Typhoons go by, and I was on Fitzwoody Beach ( on the Base). It was laying in a rock pool caused by the storm. At first I thought that it was a length of ribbon. It looked to be at least 36 inches in length.
I have spent years telling people about the blue and white ribbon thing that I once saw. No one ever knew what I was talking about.
It is great to finally identify it, thanks to this site.
Regards,
VJL"
