You may have a female Green Spoon Worm, Bonellia viridis. If so, be aware that it is toxic (the toxin is called Bonellin, and I’m not sure about it’s effects on people), and please handle it with care and a good pair of gloves.

To my knowledge, no. You’re actually the only person I’ve ever seen with one. I actually only know about these guys because I went on a slight marine worm researching binge a while back (despite that, I’ve barely scratched the surface in learning about worms at this point, so it’s quite lucky on my part that I recognized this one).You are absolutely correct.
