Nemerteans are commonly known as Milky Ribbon Worms, and are found here in New England, as well, though I've not seen the stretched out to more than 4 or 5 feet. They have a little harpoon-like proboscis that they shoot out to capture prey. They're flat, grayish-whitish is color, and slightly more solid than the consistency of mucous. You find them often while digging for clams along marsh banks and tidal flats.
