Polychaetes worms are fascinating. One species are called “Zombie Worms” and includes the Osedax mucofloris, discovered in 2005. Its name translates to “bone-eating snot flower.”

Your Tineye search came up with that site, too, eh? I’m gonna have to hit their tip jar one of these days – I use it a lot.

I use Tineye, but in this case not . . . I just Googled “Hydrothermal Vent Polychaete Worm” just to figure out WTF it was, and got that site as one of the top returns. I suspect that Serious Science Disapproves!!!

That Paulo Bonifacio group does some interesting stuff. He replied to an image posted on Reddit to give credit to the electron microscope photographer. They call themselves “freelance scientists.” Heavy duty reports on polychaets lore with some sciency pictures. No muppets.
