Is #wormwednesday a thing still? Here's some giant Antarctic scale worms (Polychaeta; likely genus Eulagisca or Harmothoe) from our cruise to East Antarctica in 2023 (NBP23-03). Photo from their native environment taken with a YoYo camera/video setup we used at all collection sites. 🧪🦑🌎🐧🇦🇶🧬

This is the larva of a bristle worm (Polychaeta) from the family Spionidae. As adults, this family either live in sediment,burrow into a substrate,or construct a tube. 1/3🦑

3 different flavours of Polychaeta (bristle worms) in one friendship group! The biggest is from the family Spionidae, the orange one was featured is yesterday’s post, from the family Serpulidae, and the littlest is a mystery to me!

Spending all my spare time logging and renaming thousands of photos for the Norfolk Plankton Image Library (NPIL). Already done are Codonellopsis, Favella, Ptychocylis, some Polychaeta and some foraminifera. I have A LOT of images. #marineplankton 🦑

Katty has limbs, that resemble polychaeta worms, her "hair" are basically anemones she can change like wigs and she has little primitive eyes on her cheeks.
No lore yet :)
But she's kind of an art person or someone who likes be in high places (unlike actual worms or anemones)

It's #wormwednesday so here's a Flabelligera sp. collected in 2023 on our research cruise to East #Antarctica. Collected via Blake Trawl and we use these research samples for molecular analyses (genomics, transcriptomics, etc.). NBP23-03 sponsored by USAP NSF. 🧪🌎🇦🇶🐧🦑.
