It resembles a long , shiny green worm like jelly. The animal crawls and launches a part like a pink tongue, crept on the ground. Some people joke that it could be an alien.

However, Grindtv quoted Dr. Dean Grubbs, University of Florida, as saying "this is definitely a Nemerta worm. Its identity is a long tap for hunting, which can be as long as the body."

This worm lives deep in subtropical or tropical waters. However, some individuals can live on land in cool and humid places.

Nemertea flatworm has a special hose used for hunting. It will push the tap out of the body, covering the prey in thick and poisonous mucus to paralyze the prey. Most Nemertea flatworms have a length of 20 cm.
