Their most noted representatives are the fireworms, which can cause great pain if trodden on. Their relationship to other polychaete groups is somewhat poorly resolved.〔 == Complanine == Complanine is an quaternary ammonium salt that has been isolated from the marine fireworm ''Eurythoe complanata''. It causes an inflammatory effect upon contact with the skin or mucous membranes. It was previously known that handling the fireworm caused it to release a chemical that induces inflammation of the skin of marine predators and mammals (including humans). Complanine was the first compound isolated from the fireworm which causes these effects. It is presumed that this compound's function is to deter predators of the fireworm. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amphinomidae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
