Ecology author: "The specimens were all enclosed by filamentous tube materials through which branchiae projected in groups at intervals along the body (Fig. 15A–C). This tube structure is similar in appearance to the tessellated or tattered tubes reported by Hartman (1960) and Blake (1996) for K. tesselata from offshore California. However, the tube material of the New England specimens is a hardened substance within which the worms are compressed and twisted upon preservation and from which they are difficult to extract; whereas, the tube material of K. tesselata is soft and pliable such that worms are easily removed intact. Further, careful inspection of these New England specimens revealed a species having a different morphology despite the similar appearing tube".
