Dear Andrej and Bill.
Thank you for your comment. I agree that it is a polychaete worm. I observed the 'feeler' expanding and contracting.
Why does this animal do attack? I think the worm is being defensive rather than aggressive. If the sponge is eaten then the worm's place to hide disappears. It is pleasant to observe a sea slug and think about how it lives.
Best Regards,
Jun Imamoto
