Hi, Godfried,
The tentacles of your polychaete reminded me of those of Mesochaetopterus rogeri (Figures 1A & B of the article below), but the species was reported from the Iberian Mediterranean coast, not the Caribbean.
Martin, Daniel, JoAO Gil, J. O. S. E. P. CARRERAS‐CARBONELL, and Michel Bhaud. "Description of a new species of Mesochaetopterus Annelida, Polychaeta, Chaetopteridae), with redescription of Mesochaetopterus xerecus and an approach to the phylogeny of the family." Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 152, no. 2 (2008): 201-225.

I'll try again, since my photo did not seem to get uploaded, but it may be seen at this link <https://www.dropbox.com/s/ecxf1ocd6o8cro7/Mesochaetopterus%202181-07.jpg?dl=0> as well.
In the meantime Marco Faasse, even without seeing the photo, guessed it was Mesochaetopterus and I find very similar photos on the web indeed. Confirmation of the species is much appreciated.
Kind regards
Godfried van Moorsel
