[Quote] No new information had been reported on the branching syllid for many decades. However, a syllid very similar to Syllis ramosa was collected at a depth of about 1000 m off New Zealand in the Tasman Sea, and was later found among preserved sponges back in NIWA's sorting laboratory. This is the first time this type of syllid has been found in the (non-tropical) Southern Hemisphere. It was found thousands of kilometres from the previous records so it might be a different, but related, species. However, it was also living in a deepwater Crateromorpha sponge
