CHRISTMAS-TREE WORM
Tentative identification. Common in massive corals and limestone reef rock. The worm's
body creates a tunnel and extends a pair of colorful crowns that
function as gills and food gathering devices. The crowns are
rapidly retracted when disturbed and the hole is covered by a hard
operculum. Crown diameter of 0.6 inch.
