Thank you again Scott Frazier for your help.
Hi Luis. I simply searched for beach worms in your area :-) http://www.tripadvisor.in/ShowTopic-g150... As far as fire worms go, I again tried to find an image using that suggested search term. I did not come close. The only image I found that matched yours was the one reported below, and re-copied here http://www.denleywong.com/2011/03/02/maz...
Thank you keithp2012 and Chun Xing Wong. It is a marine animal but it was on the beach.
Thank you Marinus Dominus for the ID and Scott Frazier for the link.
Scott how did you find the fire worm in trip advisor?
Good tip. Well the Mexican Pacific Polychaeta checklist may not be 8000 species long but it's long enough http://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?pid=S071... ! Anyone game?
Well they talk about them on tripadvisor, and this photographer http://www.denleywong.com/2011/03/02/maz... also captured them, but nobody names them!
Cool spotting, Luis.
Are they underwater ?
Interesting
