Description

Odontosyllis is famous for species that exhibit bioluminescence, especially noted in the phenomenon of 'sea fire' or 'marine sparkle,' where swarms of reproductive individuals emit light during nuptial dances. These worms are distinguished by their strong jaws and predaceous habits, feeding on small invertebrates.
