What is the genus and species name for bristle worms?
The animals called, bristle worms, are annelids of the class: Polychaeta. Subclasses are Palpata and Scolecide. There are in excess of 10,000 species of Polychaeta. Representatives may be found in any of the world's oceans including the Challenger Deep trench. Unfortunately they are often the unwelcome inhabitants of many salt water aquariums as well. A very detailed and complete description would be needed in order to classify a particular worm as to genus and species.
How do Polychaeta reproduce?
Polychaeta, a class of annelid worms, primarily reproduce through a process called external fertilization. During reproduction, many polychaetes engage in a reproductive event known as spawning, where males and females release their gametes into the water, leading to fertilization outside of the body. Some polychaetes also exhibit asexual reproduction through budding or fragmentation. Additionally, certain species can reproduce via a process called epitoky, where individuals transform into reproductive forms that are specialized for swimming and dispersing gametes.

Sandworms, which belong to the class Polychaeta, are bilateral organisms. They exhibit bilateral symmetry, meaning their body can be divided into two symmetrical halves along a single plane. This characteristic is common among many annelids and allows for more efficient movement and coordination.
