psteeleb · 10/17/2011, 05:02 PM

The mouth kind of reminds me of the creature in the movie Alien

All I see is a large black rectangle.

I looks like the video may still be processing on youtube, try one of the lower resolutions

rhdoug · 10/17/2011, 08:51 PM

I looks like some kind of snail, but whatever the hell it is it is creeping me out!

Reefing Newbie · 10/17/2011, 09:05 PM

You should get a longer video of it. It looks really creepy!

psteeleb · 10/17/2011, 09:23 PM

I've got a longer video but just wanted to have people try and guess for a bit

disc1 · 10/17/2011, 10:00 PM

The only Evel I know...

iwishtofish · 10/17/2011, 10:34 PM

My guess is a eunicid worm.

Reefnut2010 · 10/18/2011, 02:36 PM

Whatever it is... GET IT OUT ASAP !!

sporto0 · 10/18/2011, 02:45 PM

Evel Knievel!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, David you are the man!!! I knew I liked you right away, LOL, what kind of Scotch is on tap tonight? I am glad it's not Evel in the tank but whatever that thing is, it surely looks EVIL. Perhaps we should consult Sigourney Weaver on this one.

ReeferBill · 10/18/2011, 03:03 PM

Squid or octopus!

Reefing Newbie · 10/18/2011, 03:28 PM

I think I found your longer video lol. Not sure if I should say it out loud, but that thing is huge!!!!

sporto0 · 10/18/2011, 03:39 PM

Lol, it is an elephant limpet, at the end of the video, the answer is right there with the original video.
