Great sighting, I have never seen a worm of this type so large. Unfortunately we don't have anyone on the team able to narrow this down to genus or species so it will have to live in the Nematomorpha (phylum) box as you have suggested until we find someone with more expertise in this area.
Cheers.
Cheers.
