Haemochromogens are widely distributed in the gut lumen of molluscs and polychaetes (24, 70). The decomposition of haemoglobin gives rise to the bile pigment biliverdin through the rupture of the porphyrin nucleus and the release of iron, and this or related bile pigments are responsible for some animal colours. The ragworm Nereis diversicolor is variable in colour, different individuals being orange, brown or green. The orange and brown colours are due largely to carotenoids, but the green pigment is biliverdin formed by the breakdown of haemoglobin. The granules of biliverdin occurring in the body wall are ultimately transferred to the gut and excreted. Males, on.
