Grainy

 
I'm running out of time tonight, but here's a mystery close-up for you.  We found this washed up on a Point Reyes beach this afternoon.  Can you tell what it is?

Well, what is it?

Hi, Phil!

I'll reveal the identity of this object tonight, but here's a hint: One of the common names of this animal is related to something that you could find at Screamin' Mimi's in Sebastopol.

Hi, all!

Yes! This is the tube of a polychaete worm.

Extra bonus points for anyone who can identify the type of worm!
