Aporrectodea rosea     

Aporrectodea Rosea

This worm has a snub shaped nose. Snub shaped noses are rounded like a slightly used eraser on the end of a pencil, rather than being very pointy, like the lead tip of a pencil. Their noses are also bubblegum pink (that is the first 3-4 segments are bright very pink). The rest of the body is a grayish color.
