Hi,
About the Chloeia sp., it is a common species found around northern side of west coast of Peninsular Malaysia (Penang, Kedah). The one from the picture was a live sample caught in the trawler net. I remembered one incident a month after the Aceh Tsunami, thousands of these fireworms (same species) were washed ashore on Penang beaches. Too bad nobody took a picture at that time, it would be a wonderful picture indeed...
Some pics of Sternaspis (Malaysian waters) for your viewing pleasure!
Best regards,
R. Siow

>> Hi Siow,
>> If you don't mind, could you share with us the details of the specimen and about yourself? Perhaps a joint work on describing the specimen later?
