I'm not 100% sure what species of worm this is, but isn't the color amazing? This beautiful turquoise polychaete — possibly Nereis grubei — was crawling over the rocks in the intertidal zone. It was photographed on Bodega Head on 16 May 2017.
It's such a beautiful color! Here on the Olympic Peninsula, we have a huge variety of fascinating marine worms, including this rainbow-like polychaete I found a week ago: http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/6187499 Thanks so much for your blog. I enjoy it every day!
