This worm is fairly small, ~4 cm long and only a few millimeters wide. You can see the metallic silver coloration and the very regular black striping (reminiscent of a ruler!). Note that both the anterior (head) and posterior (tail) ends are patterned slightly differently than the middle section.
Here are two close-ups of the head end:
If you have any thoughts about the identification, or just want to join in on praising this worm, feel free to submit a comment!
P.S. You could also suggest a possible common name for the worm. Ruler Worm? (for the tick marks) Piano Worm? (for the resemblance to black-and-white keys)

p.s. The word of the day was Whangdoodle: a fanciful creature of undefined nature.
I think this word could define a lot of the amazing marine animals :)
