Dear Bill
Maybe this photo will be more helpful. Unfortunately I don't have any photos to illustrate the colour variation which I have mentioned. It will be a project for the future.
Locality: South coast KwaZulu-Natal SOUTH AFRICA

Dear Valda,
Thanks for the second photo which definitely shows that the head tentacles are arminid rhinophores not flatworm tentacles.

Not that it gets us much further ahead with an identification, but its defintiely an arminid.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
