  1. What an unusual creature! Could you point out the main body parts :) Posted 5 years ago
    1. The head is on the left, with the 2 'tubes' pointing downward on the head are the oral tentacles.
      Then above it, you can only see one of the 2 rhinopores that is pointing upward on the head.
      The bloated/chubby part to the right is the main body.
