  1. Is anyone able to tell me what species this is? Leslie? Are you there? :)

  2. Family Syllidae, subfamily Autolytinae. I'll check my references when I get to work to see if I can find a matching species. It's a female up in the water column to release her eggs.

    Thank Leslie! Is this signified by the curled tail? I did notice that it wasn't uncurling its tail when it swum.

     

    For the record, this shot was taken at Point Lonsdale, Victoria, Australia.

  4. Hi Pfuller,

     

    I was about to ask a similar species :)

    Thanks
