…while snorkeling are these Christmas tree worms. The body
of the worm is in a calcareous tube bored into the coral. What you see here are
the radioles, which the worm extend from the tube to catch food. If you get too
close, the radioles zip down into the tube. Aren’t these beauties?
No matter how many times we would see these we always enjoyed them - they make you smile!! Love the underwater photos on your blog as usual.
