Apologies to Trypophobes out there.
A close up of the burrows constructed by Honeycomb worms (Sabellaria alveolata) - each grain of sand, in what can be extensive reef structures, is carefully placed. County Clare, Ireland.

Nature is so amazing! These are the branchiae (gills) of a marine polychaete worm (a Terebellidae I think). This is how they breath!

A little polychaete worm larva shimmying under the irritating flashing LED bulb of my microscope (which needs changing or there’s a connection loose?). Still cute though.

This totally looks like it should belong in the hands of a Klingon. But I /think/ it’s another chaeta (bristle) from a polychaete worm. Let me know if you think differently!

Took my wetsuit down to Port Seaton but the water was a bit wintry for my tastes. Combed the shore and found a weird animal washed up.
A polychaete 'worm' but the size of a hamster. Wikipedia informs me this is a 'sea mouse'. You live and learn.

Turns out today is polychaete day, fun fact: all the hairs on annelids with them are actually toes!
