Edwardsiella lineata

(Verrill in Baird, 1873)

Erling Svensen Do any of you know if these "worms" are food for the Bolinopsis, or do you thing that they are some kind of parasites?

Marco Faasse The American ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi may be infested by larvae of the sea anemone Edwardsiella lineata: http://www.sciencemadecool.com/2008/05/friday-parasite.html

Marco Faasse Likewise, larvae of the European anemone Peachia cylindrica live in hydromedusae (and perhaps ctenphores?).
