Captured in Tokyo Bay. I can't belive that they belongs to Eunicida.

イソメ目とは思えないくらい、外部形態が特徴的な多毛類。体長10 cmくらい。

As marine organisms die & sink, they decompose & slowly build up methane that seeps upward through cracks in the seafloor. Chemosynthetic microbes convert methane into energy to grow. Explore w/us during #ChileMargin2024 Divestreams: https://t.co/A5Y7UMK6l5
