Underwater robot discovers never-before-seen creature in Pacific Ocean
Briefly

"To describe this polychaete, one simply must use jazz hands - it is the only way to capture this deep-sea worm's dazzle!"
"The international science team is exploring along the margin, a nearshore deep-sea feature where a submerged continental shelf extends from the country's west coast and drops steeply and suddenly into the Pacific Ocean."
"The confluence of tectonic forces and terrestrial influences makes this margin a natural laboratory for investigating chemosynthetic and deep-sea environments that host animals like this shimmering deep-sea worm."
"Polychaete means 'many bristles', and each body segment has a pair of fleshy protrusions called parapodia covered in bristles called chaetae."
