Description
The Christmas tree worm's tubular body is burrowed into Porites coral (a type of hard coral), hidden from view. The two spirals we see are its feeding and respiratory structure. Sensitive to light and motion, they instantly retract into the worm's body when the camera's strobes flash! The photo was taken in Papua New Guinea. 1" wide.
