Could anyone identify this animal for me please? It is a worm and I found it under a stone in water 0.5m deep very close to the shore. It was about 7-8cm long but it started shrinking. When I took the photo it was about one third of its size.
Thank you!

Hello,
Yes, sorry I forgot to say: in Malta, east coast. Echiuria makes sense. I've seen Bonellia viridis a number of times but I think this species is usually buried in the sand. Thanks for your replies:)

Hi,
I think it's the "tail" of an echiuran worm (spoon worm). Was it in France ?
