a bristle worm

Post by Franz Neidl »

I like very much the marine bristle worms. Interesting in the 2 pictures are the oil droplets (a strategy of planctonic animals to avoid sinking). This animal was only 250 µm long.
Obj.40x and 20x,DIC.
I dont know the species. (But the bristle worms have about 14.000 species; I would be very happy to know all them!).
