Scientists were dazzled after discovering an iridescent, bristled sea worm that is being compared to an aquatic “toilet scrubber.”

The nonprofit Schmidt Ocean Institute recently shared a video of the hairy ocean inhabitant — which it dubbed a “sassy sparkler” — on Instagram.

“To describe this polychaete [a type of segmented marine worm], one simply must use jazz hands — it is the only way to capture this deep-sea worm’s dazzle!” they wrote.

Accompanying footage shows the shimmery critter crawling across the ocean floor like a burlesque sea slug.

The polychaete was discovered by a remotely piloted robot that was exploring the Chile Margin, “a submerged continental shelf extends from the country’s west coast and drops steeply and suddenly into the Pacific Ocean,” per the post

“Very bizarre and gorgeous, it reminds me of a moving toupee,” quipped one Instagram commenter while describing the find (pictured).

The worm was discovered on a submerged continental shelf called the Chilean Margin.

The Chile Margin’s tectonic forces and terrestrial influences make it ideal for probing “deep-sea environments that host animals like this [queue jazz hands] shimmering deep-sea worm,” the researchers wrote.

According to the post, each of the creature’s body segments sports a pair of fleshy appendages called parapodia that are forested with bristles called chaetae.

While many worms are bioluminescent, this “sassy sparkler” is iridescent due to special protein structures in its plumage.
