Thysanozoon
or Acanthozoon C Sara Thiebaud found
this black and white striped worm at night on the wall of the Haleiwa
Trench on Oahu's north shore. She has since found several more. Not
many papillate worms are conspicuously patterned. We've never seen one
with stripes, and there is nothing like it on the Newman & Cannon
CD. Update October 2023: Kassidy Wilkins posted some photos to iNaturalist, seen while tidepooling on Maui. BACK to papillae BACK to longitudinal stripes |
