#fireworm

• Amphinomid — A niche representative of the marine polychaete worm family Amphinomidae, also known as 'fireworms' due to their sharp, brittle calcareous bristles (chaetae) that secrete an irritating toxin. As a proper noun (Amfinom), it represents the Romanianized form of the Greek mythological name Amphinomus, one of Penelope's suitors in Homer's Odyssey, ultimately killed by Telemachus.
