sealord > During a big low spring tide on 19 April 2003 this ragworm, Nereis sp., while swimming vigorously in a stream on the lower shore at L'Eree on Guernsey's west coast, released copious quantities of white fluid from the tip of the tail. The gametes were carried downstream. After spawning the worm became lethargic.  

Notice the four red eyes on the top of the head, the two downward pointing antennae, and the long tentacles.  There are normally two pairs of tentacles on either side of the head but some appear to be missing and those on the worm's right side have been reduced in length.
