ALT A closer look at specimens from the NHMLA Invertebrate Paleontology collections.
Worm vs Snake! Snake eel pulls a giant eunicid out of its tube by rapidly spinning & winding the worm around its body. I've seen this behavior filmed once before; in that video the victim was E. aphroditois. Great UW capture by seamandoman

International Polychaete Day 2022 is the perfect time to announce this. The @NHMLA Polychaete Section can now award up to US$1000 to 2-3 international students a year through the Anne Baker-Hayes Polychaete Student Fund. Funding will support a visit to our collection
Undergrads & graduate students can apply through our regular Student Collection Study program. 2 award deadlines each year on April 1st and October 1st. Guidelines are at nhm.org/student-collections-… We're looking forward to seeing your applications! #PolychaeteDay #visitNHMLA
Am I a heretic posting non-polychaetes for #WormWednesday? In my world, yes.
Some nemerteans I photographed last year - Tubulanus sexalineatus, Amphiporus bimaculatus, Cerebratulus lineolatus from southern California. Now waiting at @NHMLA for some researcher to love them
Dancing with the stars! Ophiopteris papillosa & Ophiothrix spiculata strut their stuff for @echinoblog and #echinoday More good stuff held at #NHMLA

Are you or someone you know an expert on marine invertebrates and interested in conservation? We are forming an @IUCNssc Marine Invertebrates Red List Authority to assess extinction risk in these important creatures! Please retweet and DM me if interested!
I love this species so much! Had to share the full body view of the candy cane worm Dorvillea moniloceras now at #NHMLA This beauty wasn't even the brightest one but it was the most cooperative #WormWednesday

これまでゴカイの良さを知らずに生きて来てしまった事に気づいて残念な気分。ところで何者なんだろう。オウギゴカイ？

Pretty, petite, & possibly undescribed. Protula sp found by @CSULBLarvalLab two weeks ago in San Diego Bay, California, a hotbed of introduced species. Now "living" in the NHMLA worm room. We'll be going back to collect more #WormWednesday
Poor little nereid trying to avoid becoming dinner for Perenemertes peregrina. Tragically the nereid lost 😭 Video by POB @Kelporama xitter.cf/Kelporama/status/15343… #WormWednesday

A beautiful but frustrating #WormWednesday capitellid posterior. It slithered out of a empty clam burrow in a shale reef fragment. ~150 mm long w/ retractile branchiae. Live & preserved pics. I hammered that rock for a week trying to find the rest of the worm but no luck
