I cannot even hazard a guess as to what this might be. Perhaps someone can shed some light on the subject.
Locality: Jahir, Lembeh Strait, 8 metres, Indonesia, Sulawesi, 21 Nov 2006. Length: 1 - 1.5 cm. Photographer: Ken Tucker.

Tucker, K., 2007 (Jun 5) Today's mystery guest from Sulawesi. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/19380Dear Ken,
I am pretty sure this is the head - or front end - of a polychaete worm. The rest of the animal is in a crevice or burrow. I don't recognise the species but the clear segments you can see are typical of this phylum of worms which are sometimes called 'segmented worms'.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
