Ophryotrocha flabella is a species of polychaete worm, first found on deep sea whale fall and wood fall habitats in the north-east Pacific, off the southern Californian coast. It is similar to Ophryotrocha globopalpata, possessing some morphological differences, although genetic divergence is low between them.[1]
