I like the hook, but it needs to be present in the article with an inline citation(s) so it can be verified. The article also needs to be expanded by about 300 to 400 original characters of prose. Adding in the statement above with some context will likely be enough. Great job so far! Footlessmouse (talk) 02:09, 9 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Footlessmouse: I have added an extra inline citation for the paternal care. I would have thought the environmental monitor was covered adequately by the last paragraph, but can rewrite the hook if you don't agree. I created the article and I think you will find it is plenty long enough. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:12, 9 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
Overall: New enough, long enough, neutral, inline citations are good, hook is now covered with inline citations, and is interesting. The phrase "is a species of marine polychaete worm in the family Nereididae" is present in one of the sources, but from what I can tell, that is the standard way to word it and is present in other articles in the same family. No other copyvio issues No picture. QPQ given. Great job! Footlessmouse (talk) 22:18, 9 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
