"Stomach contents included gastropod (Fig. 2C) and amphipod remains as prey items." (PDF attached)

So, it seems to eat smaller worms and snails and larger pods. Seems some eat detritus and again some specifically found on dead whales. They do not eat coral.

Definetly a scale worm. I had 2 as hikers back in the summer, and got the same ID. My 2 were not green, but yellow/brown if i remeber correctly. Lol. Maybe red spots too. I didnt keep them, but hear they arent terrible to keep in a reef. Kinda like having bristle worms.
