Green Bombers

This creature is one of at least five new "green bombers" - deep-sea, swimming worm species armed with "bombs" (indicated by arrow) that glow a brilliant green when dropped. The glowing bombs are thought to distract predators such as fish, allowing the worms to escape.Very cool! Just like chaff and decoys on a fighter jet.
