I see small white anemones around the worms. If you don`t mind me asking, what species is that?

[MBARIvideo]

The anemones have been described. Reference follows.

Daly M, Gusmão L (2007) The first sea anemone (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Actiniaria) from a whale fall Journal of Natural History 41, 1 - 11.
