#WormCrushWednesday with a gossamer worm. The gossamer worm (Tomopteris sp.) lives in the midwater—an open expanse of water far below the surface and far above the seafloor. Unlike its bottom-dwelling kin, the gossamer worm lives in constant motion. This ethereal worm is a graceful swimmer that “dances” through the midwater with the rhythmic paddling of its swimming legs. Scientists have described about 60 species of gossamer worms.
