A new genus and species of syllid polychaete, Bollandia antipathicola, is described. This is the first syllid species to be found in association with an antipatharian coral. It differs from other Syllidae in having one pair of peristomial cirri and two pairs of tentacular cirri (i.e., a total of three pairs of cirri on the anterior end), lacking palps and antennae, and in having few specialized stout setae. The species is hermaphroditic and possesses many paired ventral reproductive papillae that may be used in copulation or for ejecting spermatophores.
