Here is an analysis of more than 700 Nereidae (Annelida Polychaeta) from Morocco coasts, near Tanger and Ceuta. Many of those Nereids are well-known, some others are uncertain, perhaps ''hybrids'', and a new species, with more than 100 specimens, is described, Nereis moroccensis, with diagnosis and some notations about its growth and biology
