Abstract
During a study of fauna associated with a shallow-water Zostera (Zosterella) noltei meadow from the southern part of the Romanian Black Sea coast, in August 2015, a sabellid polychaete identified as Amphiglena mediterranea was found. This represents a new record for the Romanian coast of the Black Sea. Three individuals were collected from muddy fine sand at 1.5 m depth at Mangalia, at salinity of 17.4 PSU and temperature of 23.2°C. Subsequent repeated sampling in the same area (in 2018 and 2019) did not revealed any additional individuals of this species. Therefore, the occurrence of A. mediterranea at the Romanian Black Sea coast might be regarded as an unsuccessful invasion.
