The complexity of porphyrin-like pigments in a marine annelid sheds new light on haem metabolism in aquatic invertebrates

True green pigments in the animal kingdom are scarce and are almost invariably porphyrinoids. Endogenous porphyrins resulting from the breakdown of haem are usually known as “bile pigments”.
