#WormWednesday CALLING ALL MARINE WORM FOLKS! 📣 🤗
We found these #flatworms today on a Seawall tile from San Francisco Marina. Can anyone tell me what species this is?! I’m calling them “Oreo flatworms” for now! 😜 #SFBay #taxonomy #marineworm #platyhelminthes

A beautiful yellow syllid worm called 'Kuromon-siris(Kuromon-syllis)' in Japanese.

We found this guy at ~240m depth on our recent offshore #biodiversity cruise. We haven't been able to identify it yet but we think its spots are simply gorgeous😍
Identifications welcome!

Today on International Polychaete Day 🪱, I went diving in Maeda, where I observed those pretty Filogranella. 😍 Maeda is one of the most popular and crowded dive site in Okinawa. I hope the divers noticed the elegant worms 🥺❤️

It's a joy for polychaete enthusisasts to see that christmas tree worms are the protagonists of marine-merry-christmas-cards. Obviously I have to hope on the trend so here is my addition! This one reminds me of the snowy trees from my home in Switzerland🥺

It often gets mistaken for a #nudibranch because it's bright and quite big (3-5cm), but don't get tricked! It's #WormWednesday ! So I'm presenting you the Candy striped flatworm (Prostheceraeus vittatus)! It is #hermaphrodite and lay eggs that directly hatch into miniature adults!
Beautiful polychaete
Is this Acoetidae? (Grammar question : Is 'an' necessary in this sentence?)
