When you see the gossamer worm rippling through the water, are you mesmerized, or creeped out, or a little of both? We vote mesmerized.

Most only grow to about an inch or so, but some can be up to a foot long! We filmed this worm during a sub dive off the west coast of Sumatra. 📝 J., Aoki, N., Havassy, J., Kat
