Zaphodent May 17, 2016 May 17, 2016 Got a video but it's a somewhat blurry from youtube compression upload from 12 -20 seconds was the best shot I could get I went through http://www.lionfishlair.com/hitchhiker.shtmlbut couldn't find a match
Origami May 17, 2016 May 17, 2016 Are you sure it is not an amphipod? That is my best guess It's hard to see, but it looked like it was coming/reaching out of a hole with part of it's body still back in the sand. That made it look more like a worm to me. However, on first glance, I, too, thought that maybe I was looking at an amphipod.
Zaphodent May 17, 2016 Author May 17, 2016 It has antennas and lots of legs. The body is somewhat clear but a broad one stripe in the middle of the body. Lots of them on sand and rock. I'll try to capture a better picture later. Thanks guys

I'll often see them on rocks and stuff. Is it relatively compact, with a slight curve in its body? Try googling on amphipods and looking at the images.
Zaphodent May 17, 2016 Author May 17, 2016 No curve is what bothers me. It's relatively flat so probably an isopod.
