were thay floating, or swimming very actively in circles?
because wheni witnessed the heteronieses in clamworms, well i'm getting ahead of my self.
it was a dark and calm nigh on the intercoasta, the waves lapped against the rocks earily.
i waded fearlessly through the water,using my flash light to find my way. i saw on swim in front of me with its specialised parapodia. i'm riveted and struck with immovability. within minutes dozens of these butiful purple orange, and red worms, are swimming all around me. i collect a few, and bring them home for study, certain that i have found a new creature. after extensive study i realise, that what i thought was rare or unique, was ,in all actuality, common, and usual.in the morning they are all dead.......but the water is cloudy. being the marine activist that i am, i rush against the tides to get the planktonic babies into the oceanic tributary, before the tides change.mercifuly, i reach the beach just in time to realese the offspring in the midst of a spring tide.
another way to tell if their clamworms......
do they secrete mucus covering around their body, then lie in wait for food to pass .
when they eat, do they have a pincher like jaw that expells from their head.
