When you see the gossamer worm rippling through the water, are you mesmerized, or creeped out, or a little of both? We vote mesmerized. Their elegant swim stroke could be used to inspire new underwater robots. There are dozens of species of gossamer worm. They can be found all over the world, from the surface to the deep. Most only grow to about an inch or so, but some can be up to a foot long! We filmed this worm during a sub dive off the west coast of Sumatra. 📝 J., Aoki, N., Havassy, J., Kat

Tomopteris lives in the midwater—an expanse of water deep below the surface and far above the bottom—and never touches the rocks and sand below. Tomopteris is also a fast and efficient swimmer. Researchers in MBARI’s Bioinspiration Lab and our collaborators at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History have

That's Wild: Dancing in the moonlight, sure — but have you heard of dancing in the deep-ocean twilight zone? Using a remotely operated vehicle, scientists from the Schmidt Ocean Institute recorded this segmented gossamer worm (Tomopteris) doing a hypnotizing “dance” in the deep-sea darkness off the coast of Chile. Marine worms of this species — one of the few known to have yellow bioluminescence — spend their whole lives in perpetual motion, using their paddle-like parapodia to ripple through th
