For those who did not know who Kristian Fauchald was? An eminent invertebrate zoologist who worked at the Smithsonian's NMNH Dept. of Invertebrate Zoology, an expert in polychaete worms. He passed in 2015. #worldpolychaeteday www.washingtonblade.com/2015/06/02/m...
A small but long worm-like creature on a hand. It appears to have many leg-like tentacles on its side and it is a greenish brown color.
