I found this fifteen-scaled worm at Canoe Beach in Nahant, Massachusetts this week. I've seen this species on numerous occasions, but they are usually crawling through dense seaweed and are difficult to photograph. This one appeared to be hunting amphipods on the rock (you can see two in the foreground slightly out of focus) and I think I even saw it grab one.
