Hi
I want to present you rather rare guest at TN - polychaete worm.
I am not a specialist but thanks to Krzysztof Pabis (cataclysta) I've received the determination of this species. It is Hermodice carunculata (bearded fireworm) belonging to the family Amphinomidae.

I've found this specimen while snorkeling in Greece. Than I put the animal in small pond in the rock with sea water and I took some pictures - the result you can see here.

Picture was cropped, changed levels, sharpen.

I'm waiting for your comments.

indeed a new guest at TN, TFS Ori

Hi Ania,
An excellent macro capture of this lovely coloured annelid with wonderful details and sharpness. It is alsa a scientific cntribution I think since it is not easy to find such rare animals.
TFS and cheers,
Bayram

Who would think a photo of a worm could be spectacular,but this one sure is.
What amazing colours and detail.
I think worms like this are often used as fishing bait in England.
An excellent capture Ania.

A rare but beautiful sight Ania, a polychaete worm in its prime displaying its fine pattern and colouration from a dorsal viewpoint. Your specialist friend probably told you where that "fireworm" name comes, but if you had handled this beauty a little in your bare hands, you knew that already!
Cheers,
Mehmet

This is, indeed, a fascinating picture of this quaint but real worm, Ania.
Its bright and rich colours too leave me astonished at their appeal.
You have taken this picture with great dexterity.
Well done and thanks for enriching us and TN with this new specimen.
Regards.

Ty sobie jeszcze odpoczywasz po waszej wyprawie na flamenco to sobie napisze komentarz do tej fotki. Tak jak ci mowilem wczesniej super sprawa. Wieloszczetow prawie wcale nie widac na TN a ten jest dodatkowo ladny i dobrze sfotografowany. Nie ma odblaskow na wodzie, naswietlenie bardzo dobre kolory swietne

Zastanawiam sie czy przy pomniejszaniu pliku do TN nie stracil troche na ostrosci a pamietam ze oryginalne zdjecie bylo idealnie ostre
Pozdrwiam

Hello Ania,

A very sharp picture of this beautiful fireworm. Very good reproduction of the textures and splendid colours. Thanks for sharing. Thanks to you I had a look on wikipedia and some of the polychaete worms are very extraordinary.
Cheers,
Mariki
