These two deep-sea species belong to the Swima family, only 3cm long. The body is surrounded by swimming hairs that help them survive at a depth of 2.700m. Experts say that this deep-sea species can perform chemical reactions in the body to receive light even at the bottom of the ocean.
This marine worm has transparent skin and glowing ability. Dr. Karen Osborn and colleagues from the Institute of Oceanography in conjunction with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (USA) said that the dark spots inside the bodies of these two species are the flashlight for them to glow. At the same time, it works to help the body absorb food.
Biologists also said that the different colors of this marine worm such as blue, yellow . show the luminescent structure of the body. Green chlorophyll in their bodies is similar to chlorophyll in plants.
The ability of this marine worm to glow is also a tool to hunt and hide the enemy.
According to experts, there were nine species of seaworms Swima were discovered. Most live in the deep ocean.
