[Annelida] Nautilus live: yellow-crowned swimmer

[Sergio Salazar]

Dear Geoff and colleagues,

I think it's Biremis blandi Polloni et al., 1973. It was described from Bahamas. 

See http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=327235

Best wishes,

Sergio

Hi all,
 
Can anyone identify this Caribbean benthic worm which expertly jumps (!) & swims away from the Nautilus ROV manipulator?
 
Pic attached and the video is here: http://nautiluslive.org/video/2014/09/17/bright-yellow-deep-sea-worm-action
 
Currently Nautilus's ROV is live down in Kick'em Jenny, the Caribbean's only active submarine volcano

Enjoy,
 
Geoff
