a swimmer you say? sounds like an epitoke. Many annelids undergo a partial or whole tranformation yielding an epitoke which is basically a swimming reproductive organism. it swims up the water column so currents can disperse sperm farther. not uncommon in hobby aquaria

edit: cool video. I've read about them but I've never actually seen what good swimmers they are until now. thanks.
