This is Lineus longissimus, a nemertean known as the bootlace worm. It's one of the longest animals in the world. A specimen caught in Scotland after a storm is thought to have been almost 60 meters long. Although this might be an exceptional case, there's evidence that these worms can reach about 30 meters (the length of a blue whale).

Today marks the 190th year anniversary of the discovery of the #cyphonautes #larva of #bryozoans! Ehrenberg first saw the tiny creature on November 25, 1832 (Hyman 1959).

This is my favorite #LarvalForm of all #MarineInvertebrates. It has a unique triangled, hat-like shape with a thin bivalve shell and a pompom at the top (apical organ). It swims and captures food using cilia and has some finely organized muscles (first image).
