Free-Swimming Polychaete (Errant)- Green Trace
Recenty discovered on a deep sea dive was a selection of phylum annelida that scientists have collectively named 'bomber worms'. Seven catagorized worms make up a new genus named Swima.
The purple arrow on the tenetively named Swima bombiviridus, nicknamed the Green Trace, indicates the sacs located behind its head, which give this family the title 'bomber'.
Scientists found that in a dark laboratory, when the Green Trace was prodded or provoked, several of these green sacs would fall away and produce a bright flash. They also found that the worms were "stingy" with their bombs, because they took some time to create. These bombs produce an excellent distraction for the worms to escape potential predators, but like many other facts about these worms, the exact reason is uncertain because the worms have not yet been observed dropping these bombs in the wild.
