TOMOPTERIS


'''Tomopteris''' (Neo-Latin from Greek meaning "a cut" + "wing" but taken to mean "fin")[1] is a genus of marine planktonic polychaete. If disturbed it can make a flurry of glowing sparks erupt from its parapodia, and it is one of the only marine creatures with yellow bioluminescence.[2]
