Does anyone know their intertidal polychaetes? Perinereis?

Sea centipede of some kind. One set of yellow legs per black segment. This one sheltering under a rock at the low tide zone 150m from shore can clearly survive in marine conditions. At least 100 mm when stretched out and looks more like a millipede in many ways. Dwelling sympatrically with Onchidella sea slug, barnacles, Chiton and small rough-shelled crab as well as a pretty spotted red algal growth in it's micro-habitat.

I think this may be a type of polychaetye but not sure. Found under a rock in a rock pool in the mid intertidal.

Finally go to use my slurp gun where it was designed to be used, but the stupid gasket wasn't tightening correctly so I wasn't getting much suction. Nevertheless, I did manage to slurp out the pretty scale worm, which is either Hesperonoe adventor (commensal with fat innkeeper worms) or Hesperonoe complanata (commensal with both fat innkeepers and ghost shrimp), so I was in the right area. Rough spots on the elytra seem to suggest the latter.
