Ok Here's my one, take in June 2006 in the middle of Cork Harbour, where I saw this bright pink worm type of creature swimming along side the boat. It had small legs or bristles, I forget now. Was quite surprised to see it at the surface swimming around would have thought it was a goner from birds or fish - I resisted the temptation to try it as bait :lol:
Never seen one like before or since....
