ID this 'water caterpillar' please!

[AnayaReef]

Hello, I found this guy on my anemone rock the other night with the moon lights on. The picture isn't that great but he is blue with white hairs. He's chunkier than my brown bristle worms. Someone suggested he may be a cucumber of some kind. He looked and moved differently than my bristle worms. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Just took a few more pics, it is REALLY hard to take pics because he is obviously nocturnal with a sensetivity to light. He hides when the lights come on and darts in the hole when I flash to focus on him...He is the blue shape in the lower right of the first pic, and you can see a little bit of him in the center of the 2nd pic as he darted back into the rock.

For comparison, here is one of my bristle worms...

After googling 'blue bristleworm' I did find a post on thereeftank that had a picture of a bristle worm that looked just like my guy (only longer). Is this an accurate ID??

I suggest posting the pic that you found here to help others with your ID.

Looks like a chiton.

It does look similar to a chiton, I just googled it. But in person it doesn't appear to actually have a shell...I hope to get a better look and maybe better pics tonight...

it's just a very large bristleworm, they come in many many colors, most are irisdescent

It does look like a bristle worm, however, I've never seen one that color but found something similar for ya over here.
