This red errant polychaete was about 7 or 8 cm long. I found it in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast on April 17, 2007.  It was identified as Lysidice ninetta in the family eunicidae by Dr. Mary E. Petersen of the Darling Marine Center in Maine, USA; Dr. Daniela Iraci Sareri, University of Catania, Italy; Dr. Daniel Martin, Director, Centre d'Estudis Avancats de Blanes (CSIC), Spain; Guillermo Ruiz Cancino, Mexico; Dr. Salma Shalla based in the Isle of Man, UK; and Joana Zanol based in Washington, D.C., USA.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I contacted them through the annelid email list - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.annelida.net/&quot;&gt;http://www.annelida.net/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
