Dear Colleagues with an interest in pelagic Polychaeta:
I have looked at the jpeg on the JAMSTEC web site of the Polychaete TV
star and it seems that the star is likely a species of Flota. Whether it
is one of the two described species (Flota flabelligera or F. vitjasa),
the same as our undescribed species from the Deep-sea Benthic Boundary
Layer (BBL) off California and Hawaii, or another new species is
impossible to tell from the jpeg.
Cheers,
ERIK
