Worms are good buddies with many echinoderms! Here's a scaleworm on a sea cucumber that reminds me of a cat that lies on your belly! #wormwednesday www.inaturalist.org/observations...

Oh Worm? Another week, another #WormWednesday, still no good worm photos this year, so I got a Sea mouse (Aphrodita aculeata) from last year instead for now.
In my opinion, it is one of the prettier polychaetes we got in the Nordic seas :)

One of the largest and prettiest #scaleworm I’ve ever found. There’s a term, “meroplankton” which describes organisms who will spend only part of their lives, or earlier life stages drifting by with the plankton. #blackwater #blackwaterdiving #polychaete #deepseacreatures
