Thysanozoon
or Acanthozoon 7 This worm is off-white
with numerous inconspicuous lighter white spots. The numerous papillae
are elongate, dark, and pointed. It resembles
Acanthozoon or Thysanozoon sp. 7 from the Newman &
Cannon CD, but that species is from the Azores and Western Atlantic,
so the Hawai`i worm is almost certainly different. |
