Description As a polychaete worm, ''Odontosyllis enopla'' has a body consisting of multiple segments each with a pair of Parapodium, parapodia. The head has two pairs of eyes at the sides with several advanced features including a lens, photoreceptor cells, a retina and pigment granules. Associated with these are linear arrays of tubes which may function in a similar way to Optical fiber, fibre optic bundles. Each pair of eyes is oriented in a different plane. ...
