Just created the article. Shrumster 18:32, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Spirobranchus giganteus (Red and white christmas tree worm).jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on July 30, 2012. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2012-07-30. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! — howcheng { chat} 17:08, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
It is named "giganteus" yet this article describes it as small.
What size is it please? Wanderer57 ( talk) 10:05, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
They are pretty small (each of the crowns is about an inch or so). I do not know why the latin name for the species is "giganteus".

"Spirobranchus essentially translates to "spiral gills," referring to the worm's unique crown. Two subspecies are recognized by the ITIS: S. gigantea corniculatus and S. gigantea gigantea."
As the species is Spirobranchus giganteus, is it correct that the the sub-species name is gigantea, not giganteus?

The IUCN currently lists this organism as unevaluated. Can someone remove this or provide a citation? I don't know how to mess with the boxed stuff 132.239.112.44 ( talk) 18:04, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
Is https://eol.org/pages/620727 a valid source, or as a 'partner site' would that be problematic? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.95.114.141 ( talk) 23:52, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
