Scalibregma Inflatum
''Scalibregma inflatum'', also known as T headed worm, is a burrowing marine polychaete. It is a cosmopolitan species that can be found from the Arctic to Antarctica, although most probably several species are confounded. Morphology Up to 6 cm long with an orange body with 50–60 segments. Body is composed of a wide anterior part of segments 15–17 and a long slim posterior part. Prostomium rectangular shaped with two lateral horns making it appear as a ''T. peristomium'' without chaetae. Parapodia small and oval at first increasing in size from segments 16–18. Four pairs of branching gills dorsally on 2-5 segment with chaetae. Ecology Mainly found in muddy substrate, but can also be found in sand and between stones and shells. ''S. inflatum'' is a deposit feeder. During the spawning period ''S. inflatum'' undergoes epitoky Epitoky is a process that occurs in many species of polychaete marine worms wherein a sexually immature worm (the atoke) is modified or trans ...

Polychaetes
Polychaeta () is a paraphyletic class of generally marine annelid worms, commonly called bristle worms or polychaetes (). Each body segment has a pair of fleshy protrusions called parapodia that bear many bristles, called chaetae, which are made of chitin. More than 10,000 species are described in this class. Common representatives include the lugworm (''Arenicola marina'') and the sandworm or clam worm ''Alitta''. Polychaetes as a class are robust and widespread, with species that live in the coldest ocean temperatures of the abyssal plain, to forms which tolerate the extremely high temperatures near hydrothermal vents. Polychaetes occur throughout the Earth's oceans at all depths, from forms that live as plankton near the surface, to a 2- to 3-cm specimen (still unclassified) observed by the robot ocean probe ''Nereus'' at the bottom of the Challenger Deep, the deepest known spot in the Earth's oceans. Only 168 species (less than 2% of all polychaetes) are known from ...

Anders Johan Malmgren
Anders Johan Malmgren (21 November 1834 – 14 April 1897) was a Finnish zoologist and government official. Malmgren was a student in Helsinki in 1854, Master primus 1860, PhD 1864, Acting Commissioner of the fisheries in 1865, extraordinary professor of zoology at the University of Helsinki in 1869, Fishery Commissioner in 1877 and governor of the Oulu province in 1889. Malmgren undertook several scientific expeditions, especially in the northern latitudes, to the White Sea (1856) and to Spitsbergen and Finnmark as a participant in the first three Swedish expeditions (1861, 1864 and 1868). His most important scientific work involving the boreal region's fauna and flora; These include ''Kritisk öfversigt af Finlands fiskfauna'' (1863), ''Anteckningar om Spetsbergens fågelfauna'' (1863–64), ''Iakttagelser och anteckningar till Finnmarkens och Spetsbergens däggdjursfauna'' (1865) and ''Bidrag till Finnmarkens fiskfauna'' (1867).
