YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhen you see the gossamer worm rippling through the water, are you mesmerized, or creeped out, or a little of both? We vote mesmerized.
Their elegant swim stroke could be used to inspire new underwater robots.
There are dozens of species of gossamer worm. They can be found all over the world, from the surface to the deep. Most only grow to about an inch or so, but some can be up to a foot long!
We filmed this worm during a sub dive off the west coast of Sumatra.
