Not an aquarium related question, but was sent this picture of a creature found of coast of North Carolina. Any ideas of what it could be would be appreciated. My only guesses are upside down curled up bristle worm, nudibranch, or urchin?

Looks like a nudibranch species and i would not bring near your tank
 
I'm leaning towards either some kind of hairy bristle worm (such as a species from the suborder Aphroditiformia) or some kind of hairy urchin (such as some heart urchins - order Spatangoida).
