Marco Faasse Anybody who knows this fanworm? Several found in the Rade de Brest (Brittany) between 5-10 m depth, all with the same colour pattern. Maybe a Chone? But seems different from C. fauveli ... Maybe Wilfried Bay-Nouailhat knows?
Marco Faasse Colour turns out different; the worm was plain gray with white.
Wendy Northway Chone infidibuliformis I think
Sarah Bowen Another one that has changed its name then...
Marco Faasse And this one from Loch Creran, Scotland, which seems different: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=463575727053609&set=oa.564337500256232&type=1&theater ?
Erling Svensen Not a Myxicola infundibulum then?
Marco Faasse No, those were present as well, with the 'tentacles' almost completely connected by a web and extremely long pinnules on the tentacles. Myxicola infundibulum are also larger, up to 5 cm across. The grey ones are about 35 mm max across.
George Brown Good question Erling but does Myxicola not have a gelatinous tube exposed on the surface?
Darryl Mayer Myxicola also has Black tips.
Wilfried Bay-Nouailhat Hi Marco, This species is very common in Rade de Brest. A few years ago, I thought it could be Chone fauveli because of the aspect of the crown, I didn't examine the boby. It corresponds to the description of Chone infidibuliformis in Faune de France but this species has been revised in recent years. I don't have in my library documents sufficiently precise to identify this species once collected. I think this one could be helpful MARIA ANA TOVAR-HERNANDEZ, On some species of Chone Kroyer, 1856 (Polychaeta: Sabellidae) from world-wide localities. Zootaxa 1518: 31-68 (2 Jul. 2007) 17 plates. If anyone has it, I'm interested ;-)
Marco Faasse Thank you for your reply Wilfried Bay-Nouailhat. Unfortunately I don't have the publication you mention. Maybe this one is even more useful? : Tovar-Hernandez et al. (2007). Revision of Chone Krøyer, 1856 (Polychaeta: Sabellidae) from the eastern central Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea with descriptions of two new species. Scientia Marina 71(2): 315-338. The problem for me is collecting material.
Wilfried Bay-Nouailhat I have this one. As I regularly dive at the Rade de Brest I will collect a specimen next time I'll go there to ID it.
Marco Faasse Great! If I can help in any way, let me know.
