THE MONSTER OF DEEP SEA

  The benthic bristle worm of warm marine waters is known as Bobbit. The binomial name of this worm is Eunice aphrodite is Pallas. The former name is from the John and Lorena Bobbitt case. The Longest species of polychaete class.

  It ranges in length from less than 10 cm (4 in) to 3 m (10 ft). It lives mainly in the Atlantic Ocean, but can also be found in the Indo-Pacific. It is an exoskeleton and in the colour from black to purple. This species is an ambush predator. It is also be found among coral reefs. It hunts by burrowing its whole body in soft sediment on the ocean floor and waiting until its antennae detect prey.

  The largest known specimen on record reached 299 centimetres (9.81 ft) in length. The worms are slim, with the body only about 25.5 millimetres (1.00 in) wide. It grabs the prey by tongue and seizes the prey with its mouth. During spawning, female polychaetes produce a pheromone that attracts males and causes them to release sperm; this, in turn, triggers the female to release eggs into the water, where fertilization occurs. Only a few offsprings get into adulthood because the egg may be eaten or destroyed by another animal.
  It discovered at an aquatics store in Woking split into three parts when it was handled because it "allows them to reproduce asexually, creating 'clones' of themselves. It also feeds off seaweed and other sea plants and when prey is scarce will scavenge for morsels around the surface of its burrow. They don’t have brains that look like ours, they have something called a ganglion, which is a nerve cell cluster located in the species’ autonomic nervous system.
