Hello Julijan. I wonder if for a Croatian coast Eunice whether the correct species name might be Eunice roussaei as discussed in this paper?
Zanol, J. & Bettoso, N. (2006) Identity of Eunice roussaei (Eunicidae: Polychaeta: Annelida) from the Adriatic and Mediterranean Seas. Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 86, 1017-1024.
Abstract; "The long discussion on the identity of the large Eunice species from the Adriatic and Mediterranean Seas is a result of the broader discussion on the identity and synonymy of Eunice roussaei and Eunice aphroditois. Here we show that the species occurring in the Adriatic Sea is Eunice roussaei and how this species can be differentiated from Eunice aphroditois; we also characterize the Mediterranean Eunice roussaei."
I will try to send a pdf copy of this directly to you.
