Very nice Video, and totaly intressing :-)

Did i understand right, that this worm have two pairs of eyes?

regards, Daniel

[Goldfuss]

Thanks Bernhard.

Daniel: Yes, they have two pairs of eyes

[Daniel Scheibenstock]

thanks for clarifing but i have questions... a lot of them  

Is this maybe a state of dividing?

[Goldfuss]

Not at all, this type of worm does not reproduce by division, but sexually with the generation of larvae.

Thank you, I work at the moment with Aeolosoma, so any insights on any other types of worms are interesting or maybe another piece in the puzzle🙂
