If it's segmented, it's an Annelid, and likely a polychaete (bristleworm of some sort). I've never heard though, of one feasting on algae.

Actually, I don't know of any worms (except some nudibranchs) which have a diet of algae.

Well, hate to do this to you, but here are a few links to marine polychaete ID. Hopefully you can pull something from on of these!

>Phylum Annelida -- Polychaetes, "the bristleworms"<

>Marine Worms< <---- This is in .pdf format (you need Adobe Acrobat), but it's a good document.
